Ingredients
Scale
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and chopped pecans.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.
Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Feel free to add other nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds.
For a sweeter granola, you can increase the maple syrup slightly.
