Ingredients
  • 3 cups Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Chopped Apples
  • 1/2 cup Pecans
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1 cup Almond Milk

Preparing the Granola Mixture

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped apples, pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Adding Sweetness and Binding

In a separate small bowl, melt the coconut oil (if solid). Stir in the maple syrup until well combined. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

Baking the Granola

Spread the granola mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.

Cooling and Serving

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. This allows the granola to crisp up. Once cooled, break the granola into clumps. Serve with cold almond milk in a bowl.

Enjoy

Pour cold almond milk over the granola. Enjoy immediately! You can also add fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra nutrients.
