Granola of all Granola

If you are familiar with Northern Michigan, then you are probably familiar with "Addictive Granola," made at Breadworks (one of my all time favorite bakeries).  This is many attempt...well really it took many attempts...at their crack granola.  You can really add anything you want to the oats.  In this version, I went with dried cherries, pecans, and almonds.  Other times I have added dried blueberries, raisins, walnuts, etc.  Be creative!!

Granola of all Granola Recipe:

1/2 c of butter
1/3 c of honey
1/3 c of brown sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
2 c of oats (I just buy them in bulk at a hippie store, but Quaker oats work just fine as well)
3/4 c dried cherries
about 1 c coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 c almonds (mine are whole, but any variety works)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon.  Stir until smooth.  Let sit until mixture starts boiling.  Stir one more time and remove from heat.

3. Add oats and stir until they are fully coated with mixture.
4. Add your "toppings" until everything is nice and covered in the yumminess.

5. Grease a large jelly roll pan (aka-the biggest cookie sheet you have).
6. Evenly spread the granola mixture over it.

7. Pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.  Depending on how crunchy you like it and how much granola is on the sheet in can take upwards to 35 minutes.  Use your best judgement :)  Enjoy!!
