First, preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Next, in a large bowl stir oats, brown sugar, and salt.

In a small bowl mix the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Then, pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Mix well. I use my hands for this.

After that, spread mixture on two baking sheets (lined with foil if you want).

Then, bake for 15 minutes and mix the granola. Then, place back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so until the granola is just barely golden brown.

Remove the sheets from the oven and mix the granola again.

Finally, place the granola in jars or airtight containers once it is completely cool.
