Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut*
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup flax seed meal
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (Peanut Butter & Co Cinnamon Raisin Swirl)
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat, and set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oats, coconut, pecans, flax seed meal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a small, microwave-safe mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, maple syrup, peanut butter, and butter or coconut oil. Heat on HIGH for 30 seconds or until the butter is slightly melted (the syrup may bubble slightly—that’s normal). Add the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and toss to combine. Spread across the prepared baking sheet into an even layer. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes (add the raisins in the last 10 minutes). Remove and allow to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
Notes
*If you only have sweetened, that’s perfectly fine!
-For gluten-free, make sure you use certified gluten-free oats.
-For dairy-free, substitute equal amounts of coconut oil for butter.
Let the granola cool completely before storing—it crisps up as it cools, so this step matters. Once cooled, STORE in an airtight container like a lidded glass jar or sealed plastic container. It will stay fresh at room temperature for about 1 to 2 weeks.
For longer storage, FREEZE the granola in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before eating. If you do prefer a warm crunch, a few minutes in a dry skillet or a short burst in the oven works well.
