Hey there, my fellow granola lovers! As I’m sitting here writing this, I’m eating handfuls of this granola. Oh my, it is SO good. I wish I could give you a handful, but instead, you’re going to have to take 10 minutes to mix it up and get it into the oven. Thankfully, this recipe is darn easy to make and even easier to eat.

If you’re anything like me, once you started making your own homemade granola recipes, you couldn’t go back to the store bought stuff. If you’re new to granola making…prepare to never go back to those store bought, sugar-loaded bags.

Making your own granola allows you to customize every aspect of the granola: adding in spices and adjusting nuts as your heart desires. So many flavor options! So many ways to make your granola perfect for you and oh so delicious.

This coconut granola recipe, I must say, is pretty perfect as is: if you love coconut and pecans, you’re going to love this one. That being said, if you prefer cashews, or just happen to have them on hand – sub them in. As long as the ratio of dry:liquid stays consistent, you can make substitutions and still have a fantastic granola.

Ways to adjust this granola recipe

  • Add in different spices
  • Mix in dried fruit, like dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins, after baking
  • Stir in some chocolate
  • Add a few tablespoons of seeds, like pumpkin or sunflower seeds

This recipe is also refined sugar free – we sweeten the granola with maple syrup. No sickly sweet granola here – instead of loading it with refined sugars, just a bit of maple syrup adds a hint of sweetness. Still enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, though!

I hope you like this granola as much as much as I do, and be sure to try and resist scarfing it all down yourself before you can share with your friends and family. Hope you enjoy :)

How to store granola

Once the coconut granola is completely cool, transfer to an airtight container for storage. I like storing my granola in a large, airtight jar. Any airtight container will work, though.

The granola will be good at room temperature for about 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. You can also freeze the granola for about 4 months.

Description

This Coconut Pecan Granola is a flavorful, crunchy, and just lightly sweetened with maple syrup. This gluten-free vegan granola only has 9 ingredients and it’s perfect for stirring into your yogurt, serving with milk or eating on its own as a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut flakes and pecans. In a smaller bowl or liquid measuring up, mix together remaining ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir together until the dry ingredients are completely coated.
  3. Pour mixture onto prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Bake for 45-55 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking. Remove from oven and allow to cool entirely (I like to press mine down a bit right when it gets out of the oven so I get chunky granola, depends on your preference).
  4. When it’s fully cooled, transfer to an airtight container to store for up to a month, if it lasts that long! Will last even longer in the refrigerator or freezer.
