Calories: 282kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats, use gluten-free if gluten sensitive
- 1 cup raw pecans
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the granola from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, pecans, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup over the dry mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Evenly spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle the raisins over the warm granola. Let it cool completely—this is when it gets crispy!
- Enjoy it with plant-based yogurt, homemade almond milk, or straight out of the jar.
Notes
- Equipment and supplies: Mixing bowl, baking sheet, parchment paper.
- For extra crunch: Let the granola cool completely before storing. It will crisp up as it cools.
- For bigger clusters: Press the granola mixture down lightly before baking and avoid stirring too much.
- Customize it!: Add pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store your homemade granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep it in the freezer for up to three months. Just let it come to room temperature before serving.
