Spiced vanilla granola

4 c. old-fashioned rolled oats

1 c. chopped pecans

1/2 c. packed brown sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/3 c. vegetable or nut oil

1/4 c. pure 100% maple syrup

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. vanilla ( mexican is best)

preheat oven to 300F 

grease a large cookie sheet/baking pan with sides

In a large bowl mix the oats, pecans, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Place on greased cookie sheet and in the oven to warm.

Combine oil, maple syrup, and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.   Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.  Pour over hot oat mixture, stir well use your hands to thoroughly combine.  Spread in prepared baking pan, bake stirring occasionally for 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool completely.  ( I do not stir)  Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

I recived this recipe at our ward cooking class.  This disappears pretty fast around here.
