Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees farhenheit.
- In a mini food processor, process the pecans and oats for 5-10 seconds. You don’t want them to be a powder. Make sure there are still lots of chunks.
- In a small bowl, combine the oat mixture, coconut, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Melt the coconut oil and add in the remaining ingredients (alternatively, you could whisk them together first and pour them in).
- Mix well until everything is coated and sticky.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and dump out the granola mixture. Use a spatula to press the mixture down to about ¼ inch and firmly together.
- The better pressed down and even it is, the better your clusters will be.
- Bake for 22 minutes and let cool completely once done (for 30 minutes).
- Use a silicone spatula to loosen the granola and use your hands to break it into small clusters.

Notes
- The granola is super delicate coming out of the oven so don’t overlook letting it cool completely. If you want “harder” clusters, pop the granola into the fridge for an hour where they’ll firm up.
- Makes roughly 15-20 clusters or 3-4 cups
- Don’t just rip off clusters, use a silicone spatula to loosen up the bottom and then break clusters off with your hands.
- If you want soft clusters, leave them at room temperature. If you prefer crunchy clusters, pop them into the fridge where they’ll firm up.
- Brown sugar cannot replace maple syrup.
