Granola

I saw this recipe on a facebook group and decided to try it out. It was quite yummy.

2 c old fashioned oats 
1/2 c sliced almonds 
1/4 c light brown sugar 
1/4 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 
2 tbsp oil 
2 tbsp honey 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
3/4 c raisins 

Set your oven to 350F. Mix everything together in a bowl except the almonds and raisins.
Try to mix thoroughly and get most of the brown sugar clumps out. Line a cookie sheet with
parchment paper. Spread the mix on the cookie sheet. Bake for 20-30 minutes until just 
past golden brown, stirring every 5 or 10 minutes to prevent burning. Toast the almonds 
separately and let them cool down. Mix the almonds, raisins, and granola together. Cool 
the granola in dry open air on the same cookie sheet to crisp up. Store in an airtight 
container. 

Sprinkle on vanilla yogurt mixed with fresh strawberries.

was that from the group "I don't cook, but I give out recipies"?

and it does look good, except I don't like raisins, and I heard now you can't eat them because of worms?
