International Granola

Because of my various mission trips abroad, this granola recipe has become internationally loved! I understand it is now a staple food in the Ukrainian branch of the Steele household. :)

While a fresh batch cooks away in the oven this morning, I thought I'd take the time to share this simple, delicious recipe with you!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine in a saucepan:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup oil

Heat mixture to boiling. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oil and sugars blend. In the meantime, combine
5 cups quick oats
1 tsp. cinnamon

Pour sugar/oil mixture over oats and mix thoroughly. (If you're like Kels and Josh who enjoy their granola in chunky format, you may want to drizzle a little extra honey and oil over it all and mix again.)

Bake on greased cookie sheets for 20-30 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your granola.

Half-way through the baking process, take the granola out to stir. (Katrina's note: In our oven at home, I bake for 10 minutes, stir, bake for 10 more minutes, then set out to become crispy. Every oven is different. The longer it cooks, the more crispy it will get after it sits out for awhile.)


Yum, yum!!!
