Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups (510g) gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups (120g) shredded sweetened coconut
- 3/4 cup (98g) pecan chips or finely chopped pecans
- ½ cup (65g) whole pecans you can half some if you like
- ¼ cup (50g) chia seeds
- ¼ cup (53g) brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (112g) coconut oil melted
- 1 cup (240ml) pure maple syrup heated slightly if cold
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, coconut, pecans chips, whole pecans, chia seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix to evenly combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and coconut extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until well coated.
- Divide the granola evenly between the 2 baking sheets. Smooth into an even layer.
- Bake the granola for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through and rotating the pans. (For large granola chunks, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
- Let the granola cool undisturbed for 45 minutes. Enjoy!
