Servings: 6 cups
Equipment
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- large bowl
- silicone spatula
- small microwave safe bowl
- measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup pecans, halved
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp flax seeds
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup raw local honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a large baking sheet and set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir well.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the coconut oil. Add honey and vanilla and whisk well to combine.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir well with silicone spatula.
- Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pecans are fragrant and oats are golden brown. Half way through baking, give the granola a good stir. Keep in mind that when you remove it from the oven, it will keep cooking for a few minutes, so be sure to keep an eye on it towards the end so it doesn't burn.
- Allow granola to cool completely before placing it in a jar or container. Store at room temperature for up to a month.
