Pecan Spiced Granola Meal Prep
Ingredients
Ingredients for about 5 cups of homemade granola:
- Dry Ingredients:
- 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- pinch of sea salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (or olive oil)
- 1/3 cup Simple Truth raw honey (or substitute maple syrup, agave or apple honey)
- Optional garnish:
- 2 tablespoons Simple Truth raw honey (drizzle)
- 2 tablespoons raw cane sugar
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 325F.
Step 2
Add raw nuts to a sealable bag and crush them up (using your hands or another object).
Step 3
Add the raw nuts to a bowl, then add the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix together.
Step 4
Then add the wet ingredients to the bowl. Thoroughly mix everything together using a spatula and ensure all the rolled oats are covered in oil and honey.
Step 5
Add parchment paper to a baking sheet, then spread the granola out on the pan. Make sure there are no large clumps, you want it flat.
Step 6
If desired, drizzle a little more honey over the top of the granola, then sprinkle cane sugar on top for crunch.
Step 7
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Careful not to let the oats or nuts burn.
Step 8
After baking, allow the granola to completely cool, then easily break it into pieces.
Step 9
Store the granola in an airtight container and it will be good for several weeks.
