coconut pecan granola



i love this super easy recipe for homemade granola! you can change it up 2 suit ur tastes so easily. it comes together in 20-25 minutes and is awesome in cereal, yogurt, or all on its own! plz give it a try :)
as a sidenote: you can use just regular ol' plain rolled oats for this, obvi, but if you happen 2 have a trader joe's near you, i highly recommend subbing 1.5c of the plain oats for this stuff! it's got chia seeds, flax - u know, all that fancy stuff that's way 2 expensive to buy individually



ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup pecans
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp of ur fav nut butter

directions
preheat your oven 2 350F/180C
throw literally all the ingredients in a big ol' bowl and mix super thoroughly with a spoon (u can use ur hands if u want that sensory experience moment, but it gets REAL sticky ok)
spread the mixture evenly across a big ol baking sheet
bake for about 10 minutes, then use tongs 2 mix thoroughly so everything gets evenly toasted! pay special attention 2 the mixture towards the edges of the sheet - in my experience, that always toasts the quickest!
pop it back in the oven for another 10-18 minutes (i usually check it at 10, mix again, then keep an eye for the remaining 8)
take it out and let it cool down (it cools super quick)!
use a metal spatula 2 break it up and transfer 2 an airtight container. i say that, but i literally just throw it in a big giant ziploc in my pantry usually. ok yay enjoy!
