MARANATHA GRANOLA

Steps:

• In a huge bowl mix first 8 ingredients, stirring till all are combined; (I use a huge stainless steel bowl and then leave it in that to bake the granola).
• Add the oil, brown sugar, vanilla mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and salt.
• Warm the honey in the microwave so that it will be thin and mix better.
• Mix very well.
• Put onto a huge baking sheet or leave in the stainless bowl.
• If you do this, push the granola up the sides so all areas are exposed.
• Bake 300 degrees for 1 hour, mixing every 10 minutes.
• Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't brown too much in the last 10 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Dump it out on paper towels or a large brown paper bag and cool.
• Put in large container and keep in refrigerator because of the oil.
• DELICIOUS!
