1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 C. Canola oil
1/4 C. Agave nectar or honey
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
3/4 C. Craisins or Raisins

-Preheat oven to 300
-Combine all ingredients, except Craisins, and mix well
-Pour onto baking sheet, bake for 20-30 minutes depending on how roasted you would like your oats to be, stir the oats after 10 minutes and rotate pan so the oats roast evenly

p.s. This is super easy and is great with plain or vanilla yogurt :)
