Homemade Granola

Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups rolled oats
4 Tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2-3 drops Cinnamon or Cassia essential oil (to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 1 1/3 cups combined dried diced fruit, seeds, or chopped raw or toasted nuts to your liking.

Directions:
Heat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, use middle rack. Combine oats, brown sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Add essential oil to vegetable oil. In a different bowl, mix honey, oils, and vanilla to combine. Pour honey mixture over the oats. Mix thoroughly. Spread out on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, then stir. Stir every 5 minutes after that for at least 15 more minutes or until very light golden brown. Remove, let cool to room temperature. Add dried fruit, nuts, and/or seeds to oats in a large bowl. If more chunky granola is desired, add sunflower seed kernels, wheat germ, oat bran, etc.
