Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract, and heat until the mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the warm butter and maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well to ensure every oat and nut is coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. The granola should be golden and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the raisins.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy it with milk, yogurt, or as a snack on its own!
