Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the oats and almonds to a large mixing bowl.
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the honey, oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture over the oats and mix so that they are well-coated.

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely before storing it.
Notes
To make this recipe vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey. The granola won't stick together as much if you use maple syrup.
