From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser
In a bowl whisk together:
1/2 c oil (I use Canola)
1/3 c brown sugar, packed
3 Tbsp real maple syrup (may sub all/ part with honey)
2 Tbsp molasses
4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Drizzle brown sugar mixture over:
5 c rolled oats
2 c rice krispies
Stir to coat.
Line a large pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment.
Press mixture into pan.
Pressing helps it form clusters.
Bake @ 325 35-40 minutes.
Let cool. Break into clusters.
Add up to 2 cups favorite add-ins such as:
raisins
craisins
sliced almonds
chocolate chips
coconut
dried apricots
Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
NOTES
- A bowl of granola topped with sliced fresh fruit and milk makes a great breakfast.
- I like frozen blueberries, yogurt and granola.
