- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¼ cups pecans, roughly chopped
- ¼ cups pecan butter or other nut butter, runny and natural
- ¼ cups pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
-
Heat the oven to 160C (325F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, stir together the nut butter and maple syrup. If it is too thick, heat on high for 30 seconds in the microwave.
-
Add the rolled oats, chopped pecans, cinnamon and a pinch of salt to the bowl and stir well until evenly coated.
-
Spread out the granola on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. If you want large clusters of granola, keep it chunky, otherwise separate the mixture while spreading it out.
-
Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Stir after 5 minutes, and check again at the 10 minute mark. The granola is done when it is lightly golden brown. It will become crispier when it cools.
Let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
