Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup raw pecans (roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ cup peanut butter (see note #1)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (any neutral oil works)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Add the oats, pecans, hemp seeds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl. Stir well.
- In a liquid measuring cup, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and olive oil. Heat in the microwave until warmed and easy to stir together, about 1 minute. Or heat on the stove over medium heat, stirring to combine.
- Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Transfer to an 8×8-inch parchment paper-lined baking dish. Foil also works. Flatten the granola into a single layer.
- Bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes, or until the granola feels firm to touch and is golden.
- Let cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, remove the granola from the pan and break up with your hands or by tapping it with a spoon. Enjoy!
