How to Make Macadamia Maple Granola

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup (113g) pure maple syrup over medium heat. Stir until the butter is completely melted but not boiling.
  3. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups (300g) rolled oats, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1 cup (150g) macadamia nuts (chopped).
  5. Pour the maple-butter mixture over the oat mixture and stir vigorously until all oats are evenly coated.
  6. Spread the granola mixture thinly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet before stirring again gently.
  9. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
