MOM'S HOMEMADE GRANOLA
After finding out she was diabetic, my mom couldn't eat her favorite granola because it made her blood sugar spike. So, she came up with this recipe, and it's so much better than the store-bought because it's healthier and you can make it just how you want to. It makes a lot, and it keeps well in airtight containers. Now I like this recipe with no sugar and lots of raisins.

Steps:
- In a (large) dish pan mix dry ingredients (oatmeal through nutmeg) until evenly dispersed.
- In a microwaveable bowl, mix wet ingredients (oil through vanilla).
- Microwave on high for one minute to combine if needed.
- Pour liquid over cereal mix.
- Stir with spoon to moisten everything. Add a little water if necessary.
- Spread into four large greased roasting or baking pans, about 1 to 1 1/2 inch deep works best.
- Bake at 250 degrees for 120 minutes, stirring after 40 minutes, breaking up large clumps.
- After cooking, let cool on stove. Granola will dry out a little more in this stage, so don't overcook it while baking.
- Spread raisins over top of dry granola.
- Scoop into airtight containers. Raisins will mix evenly into granola in this stage.

Tips:
- Use a large, sturdy skillet or sauté pan to make the granola. This will give the granola plenty of room to spread out and toast evenly.
- Be sure to stir the granola frequently while it is toasting. This will help to prevent it from burning.
- If you want a sweeter granola, you can add more honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to the recipe.
- You can also add different spices and extracts to the granola to customize the flavor. Some popular additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract.
- Once the granola is toasted, let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. This will help to keep the granola crispy.
- Granola is a great snack on its own, but it can also be added to yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies.
Conclusion:
This homemade granola recipe is a delicious and healthy snack that is easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious granola that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
