Ingredients Needed

Once you have the basic formula down, you can customize the granola flavors to your liking. That’s what makes this recipe so versatile. Here is what you need:

• Oats – old-fashioned rolled oats work best as the base in the recipe.
• Oil – I prefer vegetable oil, but I have used coconut oil as well.
• Nuts and Seeds – I use pecans in this recipe, but feel free to try almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds.
• All Natural Sweetener – Real Maple Syrup! Trust me on this one. You want real maple syrup.
• Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Salt – To enhance all of the flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. 
3. Spread the mixture out over ¾ of the sheet pan. 
4. Add the pecan pieces, remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and kosher salt to the same bowl and toss to coat. Add the pecans to the remaining ¼ of the sheet pan. 
5. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir the pecans and oats together. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown. 
6. Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature– at least 30 minutes. 
7. Break the granola into your desired size and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
