MMmmmm...Granola

I have been testing some new recipes in the kitchen and finally made my first batch of homemade (less expensive) granola. It was a treat to get to eat it in my yogurt today and taste the creation put to use. Now, I am not positive of the calorie out but it sure did taste great for the few ingredients I used.

Basic Granola-
4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 TBS oil (next time I am going to try apple sauce instead)
I also added many dashes of cinnamon and about a cup of cranberries

It took 2 1/2 hours on low in my crock pot. Don't forget to stir every 30 minutes to reduce the risk of burning.

Give it a try, it tastes great and is a great way to save some bucks at the grocery store!
