1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a bowl mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. In a saucepan warm the oil and honey. Whisk or stir in vanilla. Carefully pour liquid over oat mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon. 2. Spread granola in a 15x10x1 baking pan. Bake 40 minutes, stirring carefully every 10 minutes. (Since I trippled this recipe it may take longer. I just keep baking and stirring until it is all a nice golden brown) Allow to cool on the pan. Stir in raisins or dried cranberries. Seal granola in an airtight container or bag. Store at room temperature for one week or in freezer for 3 months.
