Coconut Pecan Granola Clusters
Description
Equipment
- 32-Ounces mason jar optional
Ingredients
- 2 cups (160g) rolled oats regular or gluten-free
- 6 Tablespoons (90ml) pure maple syrup
- 4 Tablespoons (60ml) coconut oil melted
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/4-1/2 cup coconut chips or unsweetened coconut flakes adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F /160°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Coarsely chop the pecans.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and chopped pecans. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir well to ensure the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and gently press it down with a wooden spoon. Do not stir to help create clusters.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the granola is golden brown. *After 15 minutes, watch the oven carefully, as the granola can burn quickly.*
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet—it will continue to crisp up as it cools. Sprinkle the coconut chips or coconut flakes over the granola, then break it into small clusters.
- Transfer the granola to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
