Maple Pecan Granola

Why make this granola

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. I don't know if I've ever skipped breakfast. I just don't function well without something in my belly. This maple pecan granola is my new favorite way to start the day.

Making your own granola just makes sense. It's easy to make and it's a fraction of the cost of a store bought granola.

You get to control what goes into the granola. Don't like pecans? Not a problem, you can use walnuts, sliced almonds or leave the nuts out altogether.

Key ingredients

Ingredients for making granola.
  • Old fashioned oats - also called rolled oats. You want to avoid a quick cooking oat.
  • Pecans
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla

Step by step directions

  • Combine syrup, oil and vanilla
  • In another bowl combine oats and pecans
  • Pour syrup mixture over oats
  • Maple syrup and oil in a glass cup.
  • Pouring syrup over oats and pecans.
  • Stir until the oats are covered with the syrup and oil
  • Pour onto a greased cookie sheet
  • Spread into an even layer and sprinkle with salt
  • A pile of oats with pecans on a baking sheet.
  • A cookie sheet filled with granola.
  • Bake in a preheated 300° oven for 30 minutes
  • Remove from oven and carefully stir granola with a spatula
  • Return to oven and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until granola is golden
  • Remove from oven and allow granola to fully cool before removing from pan

Recipe tips

  • Use Old Fashioned Oatmeal, or thick Oats. It is a bit thicker than quick cooking versions.
  • Use a large bowl to combine all ingredients
  • Cook at a low temperature 
  • Let fully cool before storing
  • Store granola in glass containers or in an airtight container.

Recipe Faqs

How long will this granola last?

Store the granola at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

Can I freeze granola?

Yes, you can freeze granola. Place cooled granola in a freezer bag or freezer container and freeze for up to one month.

    I think I inherited my maple and pecan taste buds from my grandma! I love it. Okay, usually it's in chocolate but I love the idea of making in granola form. And I'm with you, my belly wants breakfast and it better be good or I won't be motivated to do anything else. And this for breakfast? Super yummy.
