Homemade GInger Mango Granola

Now winter is starting to back off and plans of camping and hiking are starting to form.  My favorite thing to munch on is granola.  Granola is super easy to make, and it is tastier when you make your own.
Ginger Mango Granola
4 cups rolled oats
pinch of salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups chopped mango
1 tsp ginger
syrup:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl mix together everything but the ingredients for the syrup.











In a sauce pan bring the vegetable oil, brown sugar, and honey to a boil.

When it is boiling take off the heat and add the vanilla.  Mix with your wooden spoon, and then add it to the rest of your ingredients.  Mix until everything is evenly distributed.






Pour the granola onto a sheet pan and spread it out evenly.  Cook in the oven for about 15-20 minutes and stir it every five minutes.  When granola is lightly browned, pull it out of the oven and let it completely cool.

When it is done cooling you can store it in an air tight container for weeks!

It tastes good with your favorite yogurt.  I love snacking on it with Greek honey yogurt.
