I posted a granola recipe a while back that I found online. I've been tweaking and tweaking, and decided to repost my variation, as it seems there are a lot of granola fans out there 
Based on recipezaar.com recipe #23108
4 c. rolled oats
1 c. sliced almonds
1/8-1/4 c. Splenda brown sugar (I have been steadily decreasing this every batch to see when I would start to notice a difference - I'm down to 1/8 c. now without sacrificing any flavor)
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. cinnamon
Mix together in large bowl.
Combine: 1/3 c. oil
1/4 c. liquid sweetener (honey or real maple syrup or a mix - I use half of each, as I like the honey better, but I have a free source of maple syrup!)
Heat to a simmer. Pour over oat mixture and toss to coat. Spread onto a baing sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 20-30 minutes, stirring once or twice. Store in a covered container. I don't know how long it lasts, because it is always eaten within 3 or 4 days here!
(the original recipe calls for 2 T. sugar to be added to the liquid mixture before you heat it - I have ommitted this. It also calls for 4 t. vanilla to be stirred in just before you add it to the oats. I found this to be too strong, so I took it out as well).
