Homemade Granola


This recipe is so simple to make. My husband loves eating it for breakfast. I love sprinkling it into my greek vanilla yorgurt for snack. Here's the recipe:

3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp cinnamon
3 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups large unsweetened coconut flakes

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. I combined all ingredients into a bowl. Stir until combined. Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake stirring every 20 minutes. Bake until golden brown 50-55 minutes. Let cool completely in pan.

I store my granola in a glass jar. You can wrap a raffia bow around the jar and present this delicious granola as a hostess gift! So easy!
