*This recipe actually belongs to Bridesmaid Georgia’s mom and was only featured in The Cowboy Boots’ out-of-town bags. Luckily, The Georgias were generous enough to share it with us! Believe me, this is good, people! There were trades going on like taffy for more granola, because people loved it so much.
Makes 8 cups of Granola
Ingredients:
Place oil & honey in saucepan on very low heat. Mix oats, nuts & seeds together in large bowl, and add honey/oil to bowl and mix well.
Cover a large cookie sheet with granola about 1/2 inch thick. Cover entirely, and try to keep granola spread evenly across cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden, DO NOT LET BURN.
Once out of the oven, scoop granola into a bowl and stick in refrigerator ’til mostly cool (it’s helpful to place wax paper in bowl, as granola will harden in fridge). Add dried fruit to cooled granola, and bag!
Enjoy with yogurt & fresh fruit, oatmeal, milk, or even all alone.

Umm…yum. I’m totally going to have to try out this recipe — thanks!
yum!! can’t wait to try it out this weekend… thanks!!!
sounds great! how far in advance can you make it? how much did you give each person?
I am going to put this in my OOT too! A question: how much in advance can I make it for it to be fresh on the day-of? If I am getting married on a Saturday, I can make it as early as ______……?
What’s “good oil?” Do you mean any oil? Thanks!
Just a tip . . . I’ve made granola in a slow cooker too. It takes longer to cook - maybe 4-5 hours on low, but there’s less risk of it burning. I know that sounds like a ridiculously long time, but if you’re just hanging around the house anyway you really don’t notice it. Just stir it every 45 mins or so. Plus, you can make much more this way than in the oven (since in the oven it has be all spread out in a thin layer).
oh yum! Granola is such a great snack–thanks for sharing!
This sounds so delicious. I can’t wait to try out the recipe!
Mmmm I love this. Must make ASAP- how long will it last, though, before it goes stale?
What kind of oil do you use? Vegetable oil? Olive oil?
Great recipe, I’m going to have to try this! I love granola, I often stir it into my yogurt for breakfast.
@KtobeC: @jmc: @KMSull: It’s best to prepare a week to two before as it is a bit of a process. And, you feel like a granola factory after just a few batches, but so long as you store properly in plastic baggie or air-tight container it will last for quite awhile. The sooner you make it up to the time you plan to use it, the moister it will be.
@melinda: @Deanna: For good oil I recommend canola, sunflower etc… you want something with some flavor.
@KtobeC: We gave about 1&1/2 cups to each person sealed in cellophane bags with a twist tie to keep fresh!

About Me: I grew up in Los Angeles and have since lived in San Diego, Boston, Italy, Hawaii, New York City, and Santa Fe. I speak Italian and love pasta. My real passion is the outdoors, though. When I'm not at work, I'm snowboarding, hiking with my two dogs, mountain biking, surfing, cross-country-skiing, or boating New Mexico's rivers. Despite my boyish love for adventure, I'm a girly-girl at heart and am overly-excited to pull off the romantic, vintage-inspired, country wedding of my dreams.
