In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients
Add the wet ingredients and stir well together
dd any additional goodies from the add-on list or anything else you'd like
Lay on a large jelly roll pan with sides. You can also line with parchment paper if you'd like
Bake at 325 for about 35-50 minutes, stirring half way in-between and switching the pans out between the top and bottom oven racks
Remove from oven when done. The granola will turn golden brown and might be a little "wet" still but it will continue to bake and dry (harden) as it cools. Be careful to not overbake! Do not stir the granola after you take it out of the oven
Allow to cool for about 15-30 minutes in the pan. This helps to get the clumpy crunchy granola that everyone loves!
Store in an airtight container or jar and enjoy!
