Description
A simple recipe for homemade granola featuring maple syrup and pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Line a large 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, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the wet mixture over the oat and pecan mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not press down.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
- Once cool, break the granola into clusters if desired. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries or raisins after the granola has completely cooled.
- You can substitute walnuts for pecans if you prefer.
- Check the granola frequently during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
