This is kind of a silly recipe to post.  But since the original goal of all the recipes was to allow Phil to replicate what we normally eat, I thought I would include this.  This is more like ‘step-by-step assembly’, instead of a ‘recipe’.  I didnt even want to call it ‘granola’ since its just oats and none of the extra good stuff.  So now that I have everyone excited…Toasted Oats:

All I use are oats, canola oil, maple syrup, honey, and a dash of vanilla.  Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.  Then, I use a 1/3 measuring cup and fill it up with equal parts oil, honey, and maple syrup. And top it off with about 1 tsp of vanilla.

I line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and throw about 2 cups of old fashioned oats on it:

Then you just pour your honey-maple-oily goodness all over the oats and stir it all together:

Dont worry if not every oat has some stuff on it yet.  The mix will heat up, melt, and spread out in the oven.  And you will mix it periodically in the oven.  The final result will be crispy, delicious and sweet.  And by sweet, I mean totally awesome (and sugary). So go ahead and pop it in the oven at 250 degrees and set your timer for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, take it out and give it a good stir, trying to get as many of the oats covered in goo as you can.  Then put it back in for another 7 minutes.  Then take it out and stir. And then put it in for a remaining 7 minutes.  (So you have 21 minutes total, stirring twice).

Then just let it cool and store it in a airtight container!  I love yogurt, blueberries and oats in the morning.  Its my absolute go-to breakfast. This batch gets me through a whole week!

Here is an easy copy/paste version of the recipe:

Ingredients:

~2 tablespoons of canola oil

~2 tablespoons maple syrup

~2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 cups old fashioned oats

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Mix first 3 ingredients (in a 1/3 measuring cup,  or bowl).  Top-off with 1 tsp of vanilla.  Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place oats on baking sheet.  Pour mix over oats and stir to coat oats best you can.  Place in oven and bake for 7 minutes.  Then take out and give it all a good stir.  Place in oven for another 7 minutes.  Then take out and give it another good stir.  Place in oven for a last 7 minutes.  Take out and let cool (oats will crisp as they cool).  Enjoy with yogurt and berries.
