Author Notes

A simple granola studded with pecans and dried cranberries. It's sweet, but not too sweet - it's excellent served with milk, yogurt, or as a topping for ice cream or frozen yogurt. —Kelci Hedrick

Ingredients
  • 3 cups raw old fashioned oats
  • 1 1/4 cups raw pecan halves or pieces
  • 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together oats and pecans.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together oil, maple syrup, brown sugar (if using), vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour over oats and pecans and stir until everything is lightly coated.
  4. Transfer oats and pecans to a half sheet pan lined with parchment and bake for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 25 minutes, rotate the sheet pan and stir in the shredded coconut. Bake for another 7-10 minutes or until everything is golden brown.
