This recipe is so easy. One bowl and a spoon. With it's candied pecans and toasty coconut, granola makes a great breakfast cereal or can be used as a topping for yogurt, fruit dishes, and ice cream.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c oats, uncooked (steel cut or whole, do not use quick cook)
1 c brown sugar, lightly packed
1 c butter, melted
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 c chopped pecans
1 1/2 c flaked unsweetened coconut
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp coconut extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 275 F or 140 C. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, fresh ground nutmeg, and extracts. Stir with spoon until smooth.
  • 2. Add chopped pecans and let stand for 20 minutes for the nuts to soak up the sugar and extracts.
  • 3. Add 4 cups steel cut or uncooked oatmeal. (Do not use quick cook oatmeal or else it will dissolve into the wet ingredients.) Stir well and let stand another 5 minutes for the oats to soak up the butter, sugar, and flavors.
  • 4. Add coconut and stir lightly until incorporated. Don't over-stir to avoid discoloring the coconut. (It will toast to a pretty golden brown.)
  • 5. Divide mixture in half and spread onto two cookie pans lined with parchment paper. Cook for 45 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  • 6. Let cool (or not - this tastes amazing gooey hot over ice cream). Toss and store in sealed container.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this granola was still really good. The pecans and honey add a lot of flavor.

The granola was a little bland. I think it needed more spices. I added some cinnamon and nutmeg and it was much better.

This granola is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less honey next time.
