Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar ((use a vegan brand of brown sugar, or use additional maple syrup for a vegan substitute))
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 2 cups Old-Fashioned rolled oats

Instruction

  • Melt coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add syrup, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to the skillet. Stir for about 2 minutes, and then add the coconut and the oats. Continue stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats and coconut are toasted and golden brown. The oats will not be crunchy at this point -- they will firm up and become crunchy as they cool.
  • Transfer granola to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a large cutting board to cool. I like to use the back of a large spoon or spatula to gently press the warm granola firmly onto the baking sheet. This helps it clump together as it cools and hardens.
