Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and even toasting.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Stir thoroughly for even distribution of flavors.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, warm the honey, coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract over low heat until melted and smooth, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  4. Blend and Coat: Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients. Fold carefully to coat the oats and nuts evenly without crushing them.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure uniform browning and crunch.
  6. Cool and Store: Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispness. Once cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Spread granola evenly on the baking sheet for consistent toasting.
  • Bake low and slow at 325°F to avoid burning and get golden crunch.
  • Stir once halfway through baking to prevent clumps and uneven browning.
  • Allow granola to cool fully before storing to lock in crispiness.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and crunch.
