Tuesdays At The Table - Vanilla Granola

Happy Tuesday, lovely ladies! I hope you all had a fun and fantastic long weekend!

I've fallen in love with granola lately. I try something new every time I pass by Whole Foods big vats of granola. Their vanilla granola is the best! After a little digging, I found a really similar recipe.

I hope you like it as much as I do!

Vanilla Granola

6 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup sesame seeds
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a large bowl, toss oats, walnuts, coconut and sesame seeds. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook oil, honey, brown sugar, water and vanilla until well mixed. Pour over oat mixture and stir to coat evenly. Pour into two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pans. Bake at 275 degrees F for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool, stirring occasionally. Store in an airtight container.

Even though the recipe calls for coconut, I didn't use it (I'm not fond of coconut) and it still came out really well.
