Skillet Granola

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.

Add brown sugar and water to the hot oil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Pour the quick-cooking oatmeal into the skillet and stir continuously to coat all the oats evenly with the oil and sugar mixture.

Cook the oatmeal, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant, about 10-12 minutes.

Stir in the raisins during the last minute of cooking, mixing well to distribute them throughout the granola.

Transfer the skillet granola to a large plate or parchment paper and spread it out in a thin layer to cool completely before serving or storing.
