Delicious Maple Pecan Granola Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup maple syrup (Pure maple syrup for best flavor)
  • 1 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (Ground cinnamon for flavor)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries (Optional for extra sweetness)
  • 1 cup chia seeds (Optional for added nutrition)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pecans, salt, and cinnamon.

    Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  3. Combine wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup and melted coconut oil.

    Make sure the coconut oil is not too hot to avoid cooking the oats.
  4. Combine mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.

    Ensure all oats are coated for even flavor.
  5. Spread on baking sheet

    Spread the granola mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Keep it in a single layer for uniform baking.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.

    Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Cool and add extras

    Remove from oven and let cool completely. Stir in dried cranberries and chia seeds if using.

    Cooling helps the granola to clump together.
  8. Store

    Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Granola can last up to 2 weeks.
