Melt oil in crock pot then stir in other ingredients in order. Cook on low for 5 hours or until brown, stirring occasionally. Make sure you keep the cover cracked on the crock-pot. The more frequently you stir, the finer the consistency. If you prefer clumpier granola stir less.

- …whatever you desire
Good as a hot or cold cereal, as a snack, a topping for yogurt or made into granola bars, see below.
