Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 275°F (135°C) and lining a 10x15 inch baking pan with wax paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the brown sugar and water, then microwave it for about a minute until the sugar dissolves. In a big bowl, combine the oats, salt, walnuts, and cinnamon. Pour in the sugar mixture along with the honey and vanilla, and give everything a good stir until it’s all well coated. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared pan, then press small handfuls together to form clusters. Pop it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Take it out and gently stir the granola with a spoon, then bake for another 25 minutes. It should turn a nice golden brown and will get crunchier as it cools.
