1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 300. In a bowl mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. In a saucepan warm the oil and honey. Whisk in vanilla. Carefully pour the liquid over the oat mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon; finish making by hand. Spread granola in a 15x10 inch baking pan. Bake 40 minutes, stirring carefully every 10 minutes.
