How To Make Granola In The Crock-Pot

Instructions

1. Lightly grease the crock-pot with a teaspoon or so of oil. Add the oats, almonds and salt.
2. In a large measuring cup or small glass bowl, combine the honey, oil, peanut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla. Microwave for a minute, stir and microwave an additional 30 seconds as needed, to melt everything and allow it to combine smoothly. (In lieu of a microwave, this can easily be done in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently.)
3. Pour the liquids over the oats in the crockpot and stir well to thoroughly coat. Place the lid on the crockpot, leaving it slightly vented. (I use a wooden chopstick for this, as pictured in the post.) Cook on HIGH for about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Stir in the dried fruit right at the end.
4. Spread the granola across a large baking sheet and let it cool before transferring to an airtight container. Enjoy!
