Homemade granola

There is nothing like homemade granola...  It is super easy and so yummy to make.  You can change or delete the add in's to this granola.  You can use whatever nuts you like, and whatever fruit you like as well.  I have used dried cherries, blueberries and banana chips.  I have put salted cashews in for the nuts (after the mixture is cooled and skipped adding them to the mixture before it bakes) I have used just raisins, and dried apricots... anything goes... you can also skip the cinnamon but I really think it adds just the right touch... Also the sprinkle of a pinch of salt adds just the right touch as well... I hope you try this one... it is awesome... Enjoy
