Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2/3 cups pecans
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add almond butter and maple syrup. Heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often until mixture is smooth and combined. Turn off heat.
  3. Add pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt to the saucepan. Stir until spices are dissolved.
  4. Add oats, almond flour, and pecans. (I lightly crush my pecans before adding.) Stir well to thoroughly combine.
  5. Transfer granola mixture to the lined baking sheet and spread out. Bake for 30 minutes total, stirring every 10 minutes (or more frequently) to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely, about 25-30 minutes. (The texture will be soft when it comes out of the oven, but hardens as it cools.)

Notes

  • Yield: Recipe makes about 5 cups granola.
  • Storing: After granola cools completely (about 25-30 minutes), store in a sealed container at room temperature. I find it keeps for about 1-2 weeks, but use your best judgement.
  • Flavors: Add more or less vanilla and pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste. You can also adjust the sweetness with more/less maple syrup.
  • Nuts: Instead of pecans, try walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or a combination of the three.
