Making granola

I found a great article on making granola this morning. I really love granola but it is always so expensive in stores that I always end up putting the box back on the shelf. It turns out that it is quite cheap to make. I think I will try the vanilla-scented granola.

Though [Katie] Heikkinen regularly makes her recipe for camping trips now, she started making granola because of a tight budget when she lived communally with 20 other students attending the Holma College of Integral Studies in Sweden. Her recipe, which fed 20 people for a week, consists simply of oat flakes, wheat flakes, rye flakes, sugar, flax seeds, sesame seeds and some oil. The entire mixture costs Heikkinen just over $3.
