Homemade Maple Pecan Granola is an easy recipe perfect as a quick breakfast or snack. It’s crunchy, sweet, healthy, and vegan. Made with a mix of oats, puffed buckwheat, pecans, shredded coconut, flaxseed meal, and cinnamon. Plus, it's naturally sweetened with maple syrup.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, puffed buckwheat or rice, pecans, shredded coconut, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Then add maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Mix well until oats are completely coated in syrup and oil.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the baking tray and bake until golden brown (usually about 15 minutes). While baking, stir it from time to time to help it brown evenly. Be careful not to burn it.
Let the granola cool completely on the baking tray.
Notes
* Use deodorized coconut oil if you don’t want the granola to have a coconut flavor.
