Homemade Granola

Over the last year, I've been really into saving money on anything I can. Last night, Kyle made homemade granola. It's a really cost-effective alternative to store-bought granola. Here's the recipe:

4 cups oats
1/2 cup honey
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil

Mix liquids and solids separately and then mix together.
You're supposed to bake on a cookie sheet at 300 for 10 minutes, then stir/flip and bake 10 minutes on the other side. (We ended up baking for about 15 minutes each side.)

After it came out of the oven, we scraped it off the pan onto aluminum foil to let it dry out. It was wonderful! Here's an approximate price comparison:






Bear Naked Granola sells for $4.84 on their online store.

The cost of supplies for our granola:
Oats- $4
Honey- $4
Vanilla- $3.50
Canola Oil- $3

I won't bore you with the math, but we'll get a lot of granola from what we bought.
Here's the comparison:

Bear Naked Granola ~$1.76 per cup
Homemade Granola ~75 cents per cup

If you're already a fan of the price, you should try the granola.
