Made with nutrient-rich rolled oats, crunchy almonds, buttery pecans, and superfood chia seeds, each bite is packed with texture and flavor. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and kissed with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, this easy granola recipe comes together in just 35 minutes. The secret to those satisfying clusters? A light press on the baking tray and a touch of melted coconut oil. Whether enjoyed on its own, sprinkled over yogurt, or paired with milk, this versatile granola offers the perfect blend of sweetness, crunch, and nutrition. Plus, it's vegan, gluten-free, and can be stored for up to two weeks—if it lasts that long!
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pecans, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the oat mixture is fully coated and forms small clusters.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to encourage some clustering.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet. The clusters will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, break into desired cluster sizes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
