Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for crunchy granola clusters made with rolled oats, pecans, shredded coconut, and real maple syrup. Perfect for healthy snacks, yogurt toppings, or on-the-go treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup (120g) pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (80g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet (9×13 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and toss with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the lined baking sheet. Press down gently with the back of a spatula or your hands to encourage cluster formation. Avoid spreading too thin.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through to ensure even browning. Watch closely after 20 minutes to prevent burning, especially the coconut flakes.
  7. Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. This allows clusters to harden.
  8. Once cooled, break the granola into bite-sized clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Use pure maple syrup for best flavor and cluster formation. Press the mixture firmly on the baking sheet before baking to encourage clusters. Cool completely before breaking to avoid sogginess. Stir gently halfway through baking to prevent burning, especially the coconut flakes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerate in warm climates. Reheat briefly in a 300°F oven if clusters soften.
