My Favorite Granola

     So I've been working on this recipe for a little while now, and I've finally perfected it.  It is super easy to make, and super delicious to eat.  Enjoy!

Pecan and Raisin Granola
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup pecans
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup canola, olive, or vegetable oil
2 tbs. water
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 cup raisins (or dried cranberries)

Preheat the oven to 250*F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a medium bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Set aside

In a small saucepan, combine oil, water, and syrup.  Over medium heat, bring to a boil, then pour over the oat mixture.  Stir until thoroughly combined.  Spread mixture out on prepared baking sheet.  Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until dried and lightly toasted.  Allow to cool.  Add raisins; package.
