Ingredients

1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 Tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Dash salt
1 cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup lightly roasted peanuts
¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar, oil, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Stir with a spatula until melted and mostly combined.
Add oats to the pan, stirring to coat with the oil mixture. Stir frequently for 6 -7 minutes, or until oats are almost fully toasted and golden brown.
Add the peanuts, stir into the oats, and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the oats are fully toasted.
Remove from heat, and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet or sheet of parchment paper to cool. Granola will crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, add chocolate chips, then store in an airtight bag or container. Enjoy!

Notes

Measure the brown sugar first; it needs to be measured in a clean spoon, otherwise it will stick to the bottom. Then, by measuring the oil before the liquid sweetener, the liquid sweetener will just slide right out!
