Okay, so this recipe has a ton of ingredients which is typically a red flag for me BUT execution and directions are a breeze, so I promise it makes up for it! Also, it’s granola - if pecans aren't your thing, skip them or add something you do like! The photo on this page I substituted pepitas for pecans. The most important tip is to double or triple this recipe around the holidays for easy neighborhood gifting - I regret it each time I make a solo batch.

2 cups rolled oats

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup chopped or whole almonds

2 tbsp flax seed

2 tbsp chia seeds

1/3 cup maple syrup

3 tbsp coconut oil melted

2 tsp vanilla (or vanilla bean paste)

1 tbsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/3 cup nut butter

Drizzle of honey (at your discretion)

Maldon salt flakes

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees while you combine all wet ingredients

2. Mix them in a big bowl into all of the dry ingredients

3. Spread thin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and finish with some salt flakes

4. Bake until crisp (my oven is about 25-35 mins depending on how thin my granola is!)
