Ingredients for Annabel S Homemade Granola

  • Quick Cooking Oats
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • Unsweetened Flaked Coconut
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Canola Oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup raisins

How to Make Annabel S Homemade Granola

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup pecan halves, ½ cup shredded coconut, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil and ½ cup maple syrup.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until all oats are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes in the center of the oven, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning.
  6. Remove from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup raisins (or other dried fruit of your choice).
  7. Let the granola cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
