French Vanilla Almond Granola

My husband loves the french vanilla almond granola found in the bulk bins at the grocery store. It is so expensive, i decided to come up with my own recipe. Slow baking and lots of vanilla make this granola crunchy and delicious. I have found that when i increase the recipe, it requires more baking time. When i double the recipe, i have to bake it for 3 hours or more. Just keep baking until dry to the touch.

Steps

Heat oven to 200 degrees f.
Line a large , rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix together the oats and almonds.
In a small saucepan over medium heat , stir the sugar and salt into the water.
Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat.
Stir in canola oil and vanilla.
Pour into the oat and almond mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
Spread mixture out on the lined cookie sheet and bake for 2 hours , or until dry to the touch.
Do not stir ! remove from oven and let cool before breaking apart into chunks.
Store in an air-tight container.
