Homemade Granola
Description
Homemade Granola is prepared by mixing rolled oats, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut with dark brown sugar for sweetness. A liquid mixture of maple syrup, warm water, coconut oil, and salt is combined with the dry ingredients, coating them evenly. Baking at a moderate temperature with stirring every 20 minutes ensures even toasting, giving the granola a crisp texture and uniform golden color.
The combination of nuts and coconut adds varied crunch and flavor layers, while the brown sugar and maple syrup caramelize during baking for subtle sweetness. The presence of salt enhances the overall taste balance.
Once cooled, this granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to two months, providing a versatile topping for yogurt, cereal, or as a snack on its own.
