4 1/2 c. old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked1/3 c. sliced almonds
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt (optional--I generally use)
1/4 c. maple syrup (use lite because that's what we have)
1/4 c. apple juice
1 T. vegetable oil
1/2 c. raisins (or dried cranberries)
Preheat oven to 350ยบ.
Stir together oatmeal, almonds, cinnamon, and salt (if desired), in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk maple syrup, apple juice, and vegetable oil; pour over oatmeal mixture and stir to coat thoroughly.
Spread mixture in an even layer onto a 15x12-inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring twice during baking time.
Cool mixture in the pan before adding raisins. Store granola in an airtight container.
Notes: I really like this. It's the perfect after-work snack. And you'd be surprised how crunchy it can get without all the fat.

Do you have any nutritional info on this? Things like Calories, Fat, etc? I'm trying to watch my calorie intake, and granola is one of those things that's hard to gauge.
it has 9 servings and calories are 230 and 6 grams of fat per serving. of course you can also nix the almonds to forgo some fat, but this with a low-cal yogurt would be an awesome breakfast. and like stated, i always use the reduced-calorie syrup. a fun little site helped me do all this:

Looks yummy! I can't wait to try it when we are moved and settled.
I made this today. This granola is delicious! My kids loved it in yogurt for a snack today. I can't wait to try it for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks, Erin.
