A straightforward and satisfying crunchy maple pecan granola with cinnamon that is easy to make in bulk, perfect for breakfasts, snacks, and toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (about 320g)
  • 1 ½ cups pecans, roughly chopped (about 150g)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup (80ml)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable or coconut oil (80ml)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (60g)
  • Optional: ½ cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, vegetable or melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the granola evenly on the baking sheet, pressing into an even layer about ½ inch thick.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through at 15 minutes, then press back down. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  7. Cool completely on the baking sheet to allow the maple syrup to harden and form a crunch.
  8. Once cool, add optional dried cranberries or shredded coconut and stir gently to combine.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Press the granola firmly before baking to encourage bigger clusters. Avoid stirring too vigorously halfway through baking to preserve clusters. Cool completely before storing to achieve crunch. Use pure maple syrup for best flavor. Melt coconut oil before mixing if using. Watch oven carefully near the end to prevent burning.
