Yummy Vanilla Granola

I sure hope this is healthy eating, I love it! I am trying different recipes. All of them yummy but this is the best.
• Nonstick vegetable oil spray


• 4 cups old-fashioned oats

• 1 cup sliced almonds

• 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/3 cup vegetable oil

• 1/4 cup honey

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 300°F. Lightly spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Mix next 5 ingredients in large bowl. Combine oil, honey, and sugar in small saucepan; bring to simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. (I forget to add tha vanilla !!!. I stir it in, but stirring it in after seemed to work.) Pour hot liquid over oat mixture; stir well. Using hands, toss mixture until thoroughly mixed.
 I like adding more stuff to things- craisins, different nuts, coconut etc. This was great just like this! 


Spread granola on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer sheet to rack; cool granola completely. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
