Crunchy Almond-Cinnamon Granola

This is VERY yummy dry by-the-handful or as a cereal with milk.

5-1/2 C. Oats (I used regular old fashioned, but quick would probably still work fine)
1-1/2 C. sliced almonds
1 C. Sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs whole wheat flour
1 tsp Cinnamon (add more if you like it stronger - I just like a little)
2/3 C. dry milk
1 Tbs vanilla
6 Tbs oil (3oz.)
18 Tbs water (9oz. OR 1 C. + 2 Tbs)

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all dry ingredients in a LARGE bowl.
Mix together wet ingredients (vanilla, oil, water).
Add wet ingredients to dry & stir until well-combined. - Will be somewhat clumpy.
Crumble onto greased baking sheets. - Separate between at least 2 so they wall dry/cook quicker.
Baking time WILL vary. - Check & stir every 8-15 minutes.
Granola is done when evenly dried & toasted.

*If you want to add dried fruit (dried cranberries, cherries, banana chips, raisins, etc.), keep separate & mix when ready to eat. If mixed, granola will absorb the moisture & be less crunchy.

This last time I made this, I kept the almonds and stirred them in after mixing, before baking. I prefer them mixed in & clumped with the oats.
Store in an air-tight container.
