Mom’s Crunchy Granola

This is a no-frills, no-stir recipe that is still my favorite version of granola.

Preheat oven to 350*.

In large bowl, combine:

8 c. Quick Oats

1 c. All Purpose Flour

1 1/2 c. Brown Sugar

1 1/2 t. Salt

1 c. Chopped Peanuts (I think these make all the difference, but they are optional)

Add and mix well:

1 1/2 c. Oil

1/2 c. Water

1 T. Vanilla Extract

Spread evenly on baking sheet, no more than 1/2 inch thick and bake until golden brown. Do not stir.

Remove from oven and let cool on pan for 5 – 10 minutes. Break into chunks and store in airtight container.
