Granola

My mother-in-law has some delicious recipes that have become part of our family tradition.  One of these is homemade granola.

A few quality ingredients make for a great breakfast treat.  Grape-Nuts Flakes is one of the more difficult ingredients to find, but well worth the effort!

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a big bowl. 

Add the butter and honey melted together.

 

Stir until well mixed.

Place on two cookie sheets.  I put the both in the oven at the same time and switch the shelves half way through.  Stir occasionally while in the oven.

It's also a good idea to stir the granola while it cools.  It will harden into a big chunk that you'll have to break apart if you don't.
