Cinnamon Maple Granola Crunch (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
02 - 80 ml vegetable oil
03 - 120 ml pure maple syrup
04 - 45 g light brown sugar
05 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
06 - 400 g old fashioned oats

# Instructions:

01 - Put parchment or a silicone mat on a big baking tray first. Then crank the oven to 163°C so it heats up while you prep.
02 - Chuck oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, maple syrup, veggie oil, and vanilla into a big bowl. Give everything a good stir till it all looks coated and kind of sticky.
03 - Dump the oat mixture onto your lined tray. Push and flatten it so it’s in one close-packed layer.
04 - Pop the tray right in the middle of your oven. Leave it for about 35 to 40 minutes, keeping an eye out for that nice even golden color.
05 - Let it chill on the baking tray for about 45 minutes—don’t touch it! After it’s cool, snap it up into chunky clusters or little pieces.
06 - Scoop up your granola and toss it into something airtight. It’ll stay good on the counter for close to two weeks.

# Notes:

01 - Skip stirring while it cools so you get nice, big clusters that crunch.
