1. 1
   Preheat oven to 250°F.

   In a large bowl, mix together maple syrup, oil, brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Add oats and combine.

   On a greased baking sheet (or on parchment paper), spread granola mixture evenly across the pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Be sure to stir granola every 15 minutes. Granola should be slightly crunchy and have a golden brown color once done.

   Let cool for about 5 minutes. Break up any clumps, unless you desire clumpy granola. Enjoy as a topping for yogurt or as a snack. Store in airtight container and use as needed.
