With the ever increasing price of store-bought cereal, I decided it was time to come up with a homemade one. You may want to add nuts or dried fruits also. Store it in an airtight container. (I keep it in the cardboard oats canister in a zip-tied bag.)

4

cups old fashioned oats, uncooked
1

tablespoon canola oil
2

tablespoons maple syrup
¹⁄₄

cup honey
2

teaspoons vanilla
¹⁄₄

teaspoon cinnamon
³⁄₈

teaspoon kosher salt (less if regular salt)
butter-flavor Pam cooking spray

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray 10x15 jelly roll pan with butter-flavor Pam. (I also spray both bowls and the spatula I use to mix the cereal, then nothing sticks and clean up is easy.).
In a small bowl, mix together oil, syrup, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour over oats in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Spread evenly in the pan, and bake for 10 minutes, stir and bake 9 more minutes. (If you use a dark pan, shorten cooking time by 1 or 2 minutes.).
