Homemade Granola


This recipe was a combination of Ellie Krieger's, Martha Stewart and my own little twist...

1/2 Cup pure maple syrup
1/4 Cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon
3 Cups Old-Fashioned Oats
1 1/2 Cups pecan chopped ( or any combination of nuts)
1 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Combine wet ingredients first and then add dry ingredients, mix well. Spread granola on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes.
Let cool completely on sheet.
Stores at room temperature for 1 week or in the fridge for possibly 2....

Snack on this mix by the handful or you can use it in a parfait with plain or greek yogurt, raspberries (or any other yummy fruit) and a drizzle of honey.
