When making this granola, feel free to add more stuff to it. Every time that I make it, I tend to add everything that I can find in the house that would be good in here. Also, watch this granola closely when it is in the oven. If you cook it the entire way specified in this recipe, it will be very hard and crunchy. If you like a granola that is a little softer texture, I would take it out a bit earlier. Enjoy!
Non-stick vegetable oil spray
1 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
½ cup pre maple syrup
Ener-G Egg Replacer for 2 eggs
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1 ¼ tsp maple extract

1 tsp ground allspice
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup walnut halves, broken in half
½ cup almonds, cut in half
1 cup dried cranberries
Position the rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees. GENEROUSLY coat a heavy large rimmed baking sheet with the cooking spray. Stir ½ cup of sugar and syrup in heavy small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture into a large bowl and cool it to lukewarm. Whisk in the egg replacer, extracts, and spices. Add the oats, nuts, and remaining ½ cup sugar and toss well.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 2o minutes. Using a metal spatula, turn granola over, sprinkle the cranberries into the mixture , and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Cool the granola completely.
