Maple Pecan Granola

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Yields: 6 cups

Get ready to indulge in the most scrumptious, crunchy, and utterly addictive maple pecan granola that will make your taste buds do the happy dance. This mouthwatering recipe is a game-changer for breakfast, snack time, or whenever you need a delicious pick-me-up.

First things first, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Yes, it’s time to get this granola party started!

In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients until they’re just combined. Don’t overmix, or you’ll end up with tough granola. We want it to be nice and chewy, just like a warm hug in a bowl.

Now it’s time to add the magic ingredients – maple syrup and melted butter. Mix until everything is well coated, and you can smell the heavenly aroma wafting from the bowl.

Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You want it to be in a single layer, so make sure to spread it out evenly.

Pop that baking sheet into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola is lightly toasted and fragrant.

Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely. This is the hardest part – waiting for it to cool!

Once it’s cooled, add in your favorite mix-ins – pecans, white chocolate chips, or anything else your heart desires.

Now it’s time to store your delicious granola in an airtight container. You can keep it at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, but let’s be real, it’ll be gone in a day or two.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your granola on and indulge in this tasty treat!
