Easy granola breakfast!

Well now that busy season is upon us Adam has been getting home late and trying to get into the office early. This is normal, but our new obstacle is getting Adam to the tram stop on time to take the tram to HB and then catch the train to the client. So i'm trying to come up with breakfast ideas that are quick, heathy, and easy for him to eat. I ran across a great granola recipe but had to modify it because I can't get all the ingredients here in Zurich. So i'll give you my recipe and a link to the original to let you choose.

Granola
2 C whole oats
1/3 C chopped almonds
1/4 C dried cranberries
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 C honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 325F
2. Chop up almonds, if whole, Mix Oats, almonds, and cranberries in glass bowl.
3. In sauce pan heat butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, cloves, ginger, and salt. Do not bring to boil, heat enough that the ingredients mix together.
4. Pour sauce over the oat mixture and stir together until all of oat mixture is coated.
5. Pour oat mixture into pan that has sides on it so the honey doesn't run off into your oven. Spread mixture evenly for baking
6. Put in oven and bake for 25-30 min or until it is starting to brown and harden.
7. Pull out of oven and let stand for 5 min to cool a little and harden slightly.
8. Put parchment or wax paper on the counter and flip pan on top so the mixture starts to fall out. Once mixture is on the paper break it apart into little clumps so it can cool thoroughly. The oat mixture should still be sticky and easy to move around. If you let it cool in the pan you will have a tough time getting it out.

Adam really liked the granola on top of his strawberry yogurt this morning. It takes 5 min to put together and is a quick eat for someone who usually has to run out of the door. Below is a link to the original granola recipe for anyone who wants to try the unmodified recipe.
