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.
