Granola

In the largest mixing bowl you can find dump and mix in the following:

12 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup powdered milk
1 cup sliced almonds

In a microwave-safe bowl mix:

1, 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 TBL honey
3/4 cup water
2 T butter
1, 1/2 tsp salt

Heat the brown sugar mixture for 3 minutes. Stir every minute. When the mixture is done in the microwave add:

3 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract

Poor the wet syrup over your dry oats. Using two large wooden spoons toss the oats until all coated with syrup. You are going to think that the oats are too dry, but trust me, just keep mixing. Spread granola into two cookie sheets. No need to grease. Bake at 275 for one hour. Let cool in the cookie sheets. Remove granola with pancake turner. Store in airtight container. I add craisins or raisins to my granola after it is done cooking.
