granola

I have always loved strawberries,yogurt and granola sprinkled on top for breakfast in the morning. During Strawberry season it's like an obsession. So the strawberries are coming in and I have discovered homemade granola. Wow ee!! My taste buds go nuts. I had really been into Kashi golean, but that tastes pretty dull compared to this one:
8 c. oatmeal (not quick)
1 c. each of any of the following:
walnuts, almonds, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, pecans
1/4c. honey
3/4 c. maple syrup
1 1/2t salt
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c. oil
1 t cinnamon
1 t vanilla
mix the oatmeal, nuts etc in a bowl and set asid
mix the syrup,honey,sugar,salt,oil cinnamon,vanilla and boil for 1 minute
pour over the oatmeal mix and mix well. Put on large cookie sheet and put in 250 oven. stir every 10 minutes and cook for a total of 40 minutes.

You can experiment with the amounts and kinds of nuts and things. I also fiddled with the syrup, honey and oil to figure out what's too much. You can cut back on the liquid a bit if you want.
But it's very good. (even with yogurt and strawberries)
