Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- ½-3/4 cups chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Next, add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl including the oats, chopped pecans, cinnamon, cardamom, salt, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and black pepper. Whisk together.
- Then, add your wet ingredients to the bowl including the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix until the oats and pecans are evenly coated.
- Add the granola to the parchment-lined baking sheet and use a spatula to smooth the granola out so it is evenly dispersed in the pan. Please note it's okay if your granola is touching and layered a bit as this helps form the granola clumps!
- Add your granola to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Stir the granola halfway through if you want smaller chunks.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. As it cools, it will firm up and harden quite a bit.
- Then, break apart into large chunks and enjoy!
Notes
- Granola can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. It will also keep in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
