How to Make Mom's Simple Granola

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, honey, brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
  6. Once cool, stir in your favorite mix-ins, such as milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
