5cupsrolled oatsregular, not quick
3/4cupfinely chopped pecans
1/3cupmaple syrup
1/3cupbrown sugarpacked
1/2cupcoconut oil
1teaspoonvanilla
1/4teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspooncinnamon
1/4teaspoonnutmeg
Instructions
Mix together dry ingredients. Drizzle liquids on top of oats and mix until the oats are covered and moist. With a large spatula, press granola firmly into a 17x11 pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Let cool 1 hour before cutting and removing from pan.
Don't use another size pan. The ingredients are carefully measured and altering pan size will alter how these turn out. Be sure to press very firmly on the granola mixture, it should be really flat.
Notes
It's normal to have some pieces crumble, they're delicious to use as granola on yogurt or on top of oatmeal.
