Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup pecans
- ½ cup almonds
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup flaked coconut
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper or other non-stick baking mat.
- Place melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Add rolled oats and stir until oats are well coated.
- Add crushed pecans, crushed almonds, shredded coconut, flaked coconut and pumpkin seeds. Stir to combine.
- Place granola in the prepared baking tray and spread it out evenly but leave it touching.
- Bake it for 20 to 25 minutes or until granola is golden brown and crunchy.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- Store it in a jar with a lid for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Be sure to use parchment paper for easy clean up!
- To get maximum clumps (which are the best part) make sure to press the granola together for baking.
- Add dried fruits at the end of baking so they don't burn.
- Don't over bake or it will not stick together. Cook just until it starts to brown. It will crisp up as it cools.
- Let the granola cool completely before breaking into clumps. This may take overnight if it's humid at home.
- Serve the granola with yoghurt, fruits or add it to your favorite smoothie bowl.
- Add some dried fruit for a non-low-carb option.
- Feel free to use sliced almonds if you think they are too large.
- Use gluten-free rolled oats if desired.
- Replace maple syrup with honey if not under a vegan diet.
