bestest, yummiest, easiest granola ever

I've made granola three times over the past week and a half and I'm finally happy with my recipe.



4 cups rolled oats
 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey (or agave nectar, or maple syrup)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon 
1 tsp vanilla
6 T + 2tsp vegetable oil
pecans
walnuts
almonds
sesame seeds
dried cranberries
flaxseed

1. Mix the oats with the salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.

2. In a seperate small bowl, mix the oil, brown sugar, vanilla and honey.

3. Dump mixture number 2 over mixture number one. Stir until all the oats are covered. This might require using your hands.

4. Place granola onto a non-stick pan at 325 degrees for 10 minutes.

5. Flip granola over.

6. Add sesame seeds, almonds, walnuts and pecans and bake for another 10 minutes.

7. After you pull the granola out, add the flaxseeds and cranberries.
