COCONUT & CRANBERRY PECAN GRANOLA

April 1, 2013

This was one of my first journeys into making granola at home. Do people love doing this? What are the best granola homemade recipes that you go back to time and again? Do you think homemade granola is dramatically better than store-bought? What about cost savings? Does it save significantly? Or is homemade actually more expensive? (That happens with things sometimes, you know?) Into the world of granola we go!

Coconut & Cranberry Pecan Granola from Rachel Schultz

COCONUT & CRANBERRY PECAN GRANOLA
Serves 3-4

2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups pecans
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine oats, pecans, olive oil, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl. Mix well.

Transfer mix to a line baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven and add cranberries to mixture. Return to oven for 5 more minutes.

Remove and add shredded coconut, baking for a final 5 minutes (that’s 30 minutes baking in total).

    This is my first time ever responding ‘re:a recipe but I just had to say…..OMG. I made this with, some changes, and it is delish. Sorry Rachel. Instead of olive oil I used coconut oil and added the cranberries after I took it out of the oven.
    The flavors are amazing. Thanks a bunch.
