Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons coconut oil; 2 tablespoons honey; 3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided; 3 cups rolled oats (not instant); 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (I like the big ones); 1/2 cup sliced almonds; 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans; 1 heaping teaspoons sea salt; 1/4 cup pepitas; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Servings: persons

3 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (I like the big ones)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 heaping teaspoons sea salt
1/4 cup pepitas
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1
Preheat oven to 300F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small saucepan, combine coconut oil, honey and 1 Tbs maple syrup. Heat over low until melted and blended together.
3
Combine all dry ingredients (oats, coconut, nuts, pepitas, and spices) and stir thoroughly.
4
Slowly drizzle oil mixture over dry mixture, stirring til blended and slightly chunky. Spread in a layer over baking sheet. Drizzle remaining maple syrup over granola. This gives you a nice kick of pure maple flavor in every few bites, rather than diluting it into an overall sweetness.
5
Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every ten. Let cool and store in an air-tight container.
6
I love this granola with Greek yogurt kefir and strawberries. The subtle savory spice tastes great with less-sweet toppings like tangy Greek yogurt.
