Maple-Pecan Granola
If you know us, you’d know there’s always granola in our fridge🙈 But this granola variation has been on repeat for over the past 3 months. It’s genuinely eaten every day and we’re slightly addicted🫣 It’s also super easy to make, with simple, minimal ingredients :)
✨Ingredient spotlight✨
OATS: great whole-grain source of carbs, soluble fiber, vitamins & minerals
PECANS: a good source of the antioxidant, vitamin E, protecting your cells from damage
CINNAMON: promotes blood sugar regulation, an antioxidant, & has anti-bacterial & anti-fungal properties
GRASS-FED BUTTER: rich in vitamin A (vital for eye health, immune function, reproduction & more), beta-carotene (antioxidant), & a great source of healthy, unsaturated fats
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
very generous amount of cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup melted grass-fed butter (trust me on this, it makes it taste sooo good; I use the brand ‘Kerrygold’) or you can use coconut/avocado oil
3-4 tbs maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
METHOD:
preheat oven to 325 degrees
in a mixing bowl add oats, chopped pecans, cinnamon, & salt
melt butter or oil and stir in maple syrup & vanilla
add the liquids to the dry ingredients, & mix until it’s all combined
line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper & press down mixture evenly
bake for 25 minutes, allow it to cool, break it all up, & enjoy!😋
Our favourite ways to eat this granola is with my daily yogurt bowl, with milk as cereal, or with apples & nut butter.
