Pecan Granola


My daughter Kate sent this recipe to me.  It was one of the first things that she made in the kitchen of the first real home that she has moved into since she started college years ago and rented mere rooms (for the most part) to live in.  She is now delighting in setting up a home, and the smell of this granola roasting in the oven made her new place feel all the more "homey."  This particular recipe for granola came from our dear friend, Wanita, for whose friendship I am so grateful to the Lord.

Serve this with yogurt and fresh fruit for a wonderful breakfast. 


In a large mixing bowl, combine:
3 C old-fashioned rolled oats
2 C chopped pecans
1/4 c chia seeds
1/2 tsp sea salt

In small pan combine:
1/2 C coconut oil
1/2 C real Maple syrup
splash of vanilla

Heat until the coconut oil is melted and mix well.  Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients and stir together until all combined.  Spread onto 2 parchment paper-lined cookie sheets and bake at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until fragrant and golden brown, stirring once mid-way through baking.
