Oats, Pecans, Maple, and Almonds make this Homemade Maple Granola nice and crunchy! With a few staple ingredients you can have a large batch of from-scratch granola, way better than store-bought!
As of late here in Southern California, the sun has been shinning. Bikini season is almost here. Juice bars have been popping up everywhere and my yoga pants have been gettings lots of use. I wanted to ease up on the sugar, for that morning anyway. So I made some granola to go with my plain greek yogurt. Have you ever had plain greek yogurt? Ugh, I cannot do it! So I decided to add granola to a fabulous texture and sweetness.

I had never made granola before but knew it couldn't be that hard. I was right! ( funny how that happens 😉 ) This granola was super easy to make and super tasty.
I found myself grabbing handfuls of the stuff. I will defo be homemade maple granola again.
I hope you give this easy recipe a try and spruce up your breakfast!
📖 How do you make Homemade Maple Granola?
The beauty of granola is how easy it is to make. In a large bowl mix together the oats, almonds, and pecans. Then in a small bowl mix together the maple syrup, honey, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Then pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture, make sure that everything is coated evenly. Press firmly into a baking tray, this helps with making granola clusters. Bake and let cool in pan. Then drizzle with a little more honey and maple syrup- this is optional.
⏲️ How long does homemade granola last?
I store mine in an airtight container for up to two weeks if it lasts that long!

Court Star @ StarSystemz says
Yum! Maple granola sounds so delish right now + a perfect way to start the day 🙂 I will have to try this and I love how you used coconut oil 😉 LOVE YOU!
Elizabeth says
Yes Court it has been a great start to my days! All gone now :/ I have been using coconut oil in lots of things lately, for years I have used it in Carrot Cake but finding more uses as it has gotten so popular. Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes with only coconut oil coming up next week 🙂
Chandra@The Plaid and Paisley Kitchen says
I agree with you! I have a hard time with the yucky texture of Greek Yogurt! I think this granola would certainly make a difference! I enjoy making easy healthy dishes! I pinned you!
Elizabeth says
Thanks Chandra 🙂
Julia says
Was looking to make granola for the first time and found this on Pinterest and de used to make it- delicious! Thanks for sharing. The only thing I would choose is to shorten the cooking time slightly after stirring the granola and putting it back in for 10 minutes instead of the 15 said above, my granola had a slightly overbooked smell to it when I took it out if the oven.
Elizabeth says
Glad you liked it! And yes every oven is different- it is always best to check earlier rather than later 🙂

Farrah says
The other day I decided I would make this granola, when I went to look in the pantry for the rolled oats, we only had the small kind! So I made my Mom go out the next day to buy me some large flake rolled oats.
I made the granola today and my family went crazy over it (including me, of course). I was trying to get them to save some for breakfast in the morning but honestly it's almost all gone!
So delicious, we won't be buying store bought cereal anymore!
Elizabeth says
Yay! Farrah I am so happy you liked it! I love this, I am really craving it right now, might have to fix that! Thank you so much for letting me know you made it and like it, it really does make my day 🙂
Esther says
Loved this! I am allergic to nuts, so I added 1/2 c steel cut oats. I didn't have the maple extract, so I added 1 tsp real almond extract. Also my baking time needed to be a bit less. It browned nicely on round 2 in the oven by around 12 minutes instead of 15. Definitely keeping this recipe!
Elizabeth says
Glad to hear you enjoyed the granola Esther 🙂
Bea says

Elizabeth says
Thank you Bea!!
