Make your January mornings brighter with this homemade Maple Pecan Granola. It is a simple, satisfying recipe perfect for starting your day.

Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats: 4 cups
  • Pecans, roughly chopped: 1 cup
  • Maple Syrup: 1/2 cup
  • Coconut Oil, melted: 1/4 cup
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and chopped pecans.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the oat and pecan mixture. Add the cinnamon and salt.
  5. Stir everything well until the oats are evenly coated.
  6. Spread the granola mixture in a thin, even layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not press down firmly.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring gently halfway through. You want the granola to be golden brown and fragrant.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
  9. Once cool, break up any large clusters. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg with the cinnamon.
  • If you prefer clusters, avoid stirring during the baking process until the last 10 minutes.
  • This granola tastes great with yogurt or milk.
