My Kids' Favorite Granola
a la brittney

Put one cup of almonds in the blender and blend and pour into a bowl. Then take another cup of almonds and just chop in the blender for a second so they r still chunky and add that to the bowl. Stir in 6 cups of oats, 1 tsp salt, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1 cup coconut (optional), and I always add some wheat germ (optional..about 2/3 cup).
Then in a microwave safe bowl microwave 6 tablespoons of coconut oil and 2/3 cup honey for 40 seconds. Stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla (you can also add almond extract if you have it) and pour over the bowl mix and stir. Spread on 2 cookies sheets with parchment paper or waxed paper and bake at 350 for 5 min then stir and bake 5 more min. After cooled u can freeze some of it in bags. They love it on yogurt or with milk... easy breakfast.
