No Bake Granola Recipe

I love this recipe because it is quick and delicious! It doesn't burn and the fruit doesn't become rock hard. My kids are always delighted when I make it.

Original recipe makes 8 servings


        

• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cups rolled oats
  
  
  1/2 cup shredded    coconut
  
  
  • 1 cup chopped almonds
• 2/3 cup butter
• 4 tablespoons honey

• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2/3 cup dried cranberries or other dried fruit
  
  
   1 teaspoon cinnamon
   1 teaspoon vanilla
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oats, coconut and nuts. Cook and stir until starting to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and spread out on a cookie sheet to cool.
2. Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. Stir in the honey and brown sugar; cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Return the oats to the pan. Add fruit, cinnamon and vanilla. Cook and stir for another 5 minutes or so. Pour out onto the cookie sheet and spread to cool.
3. Once cool, transfer to an airtight container. (I never get to this point because my family eats it all by the end of the day no matter how much I make.)
