Granola - A Kimba's Kitchen Specialty

Homemade granola for the speakers of at the 2014 Rhode Island Obesity Symposium!
4 cups rolled oats
4 cuts assorted raw nuts and/or pumpkin seeds (I use almonds, walnuts, pecans and pumpkin seeds)
1 stick butter
1/2 cup 100% pure maple syrup

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with PAM.
2. Melt butter in saucepan. Then remove from heat and mix in maple syrup. Pour over oat and nut mixture. Stir until everything is covered/wet with the butter (this takes multiple turns as it is a lot of mix for a little fluid).
3. Pour onto baking sheet and evenly cover the entire sheet with the granola.
4. Bake for 25 minutes, then rotate the sheet 180 degrees and bake another 10-20 minutes more (the time depends on how brown you like your granola).
5. Remove sheet from oven and place on wire rack. Let cool completely, before storing in containers. Put containers in the cupboard not in the ice box. Enjoy with yogurt, as cereal or even a top a frozen treat like ice cream!
