Seeded Pecan Granola Recipes

SEEDED PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees (or 350 degrees if you are using convection). Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small mixing bowl, toss pecans with 1/4 cup maple syrup. Set aside.
• In a separate medium-size bowl, combine oats, pepitas, sunflower seeds, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and oil with the remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Spread oat mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Remove pan from oven and use a fork to gently rake the edges in toward the center and the center out toward the edges. Return to oven and bake for 7 to 10 more minutes or until edges are golden, then repeat raking process.
• Sprinkle the maple-coated pecans over the top of the granola and bake for a final 7 to 10 minutes, or until the granola is evenly golden. Remove pan from oven, rake once more, and let cool completely. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
