Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stir together the oats and pecans. Whisk the maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and olive oil until combined. Add into the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats are coated.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a ½-inch layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes before giving the granola a gentle stir with a spatula. Bake for another 7-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Let the granola cool on the pan before breaking into bite-sized pieces and storing in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toasting Technique 🥜
Lightly toast pecans in a dry skillet before adding to the granola to enhance their natural nutty flavor and create a deeper, more complex taste profile.
Moisture Control 💧
Spread the granola mixture in a thin, even layer on the baking sheet to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy clusters.
Syrup Swirl Secret 🍯
Warm your maple syrup slightly before mixing to help it distribute more evenly and create better caramelization during baking.
Cool Down Strategy 🧊
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet without stirring to create those desirable large, crunchy clusters.
Flavor Layering 🌿
Add a pinch of sea salt and a touch of ground cinnamon to complement the vanilla and maple flavors, elevating the overall taste complexity.
