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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
