Directions
French Vanilla Almond Granola, My husband loves the french vanilla almond granola found in the bulk bins at the grocery store It is so expensive, I decided to come up with my own recipe Slow baking and lots of vanilla make this granola crunchy and delicious I have found that when I increase the recipe, it requires more baking time When I double the recipe, I have to bake it for 3 hours or more Just keep baking until dry to the touch , This granola was great! Unlike other granola recipes I found online, this was the only one where I had all the ingredients except for the almonds I also liked how simple the instructions were so I gave this one a go I made a mistake from the start, I skipped over the beginning of step 3 and mixed in the sugar, vanilla, and oil to early! I wasn’t sure what to do next but I just decided to leave the sugar and oil already mixed in the oats and still make a pot with more So by the time I completed Step 3 properly my oats were so sweet I could have ate it as it was! I was very worried about how all that oil would affect the granola but I just pushed away those fears and set my oven to two hours
Two hours later the granola smelled and tasted great! However, it was really soft so I had to put it in the oven for another hour and 30 minutes before it started getting crunchy I put in yogurt and made a delicious parfait when it was finished, and my health nut sis finished the rest of it as a snack I am going to make this recipe again, and I will make sure to add as much sugar and vanilla as last time (1 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of vanilla)
