    This homemade maple nut granola has an amazing maple and nutty flavor, making it the perfect addition to your morning yogurt or milk! It is super easy to throw together and makes enough to last for weeks. Bonus: you can customize it to your liking by adding all of your favorite types of nuts and dried fruit! Thanks to the Grade A maple syrup, this granola is perfectly sweet without being overly sugary. You can add any nuts you would like, but I find that almonds and pecans give off the most delicious, intense flavor when roasted in the oven. All together, the maple flavor, nuttiness, and chewy dried fruit combine to make the perfect breakfast granola.

    How to make homemade maple nut granola in 4 steps:

    1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except dried fruit.
    2. Divide granola up between two baking sheets.
    3. Bake granola for 1 hour at 250 degrees F, stirring every 15 minutes to encourage even browning.

    Ingredients you'll need to make this maple nut granola:

    • Rolled Oats: You'll need 3 cups of rolled oats.
    • Coconut Flakes: Adding coconut does not give this an overwhelming coconut flavor. If you'd like, you can substitute it with another nut or seed.
    • Nuts: I normally use a combination of pecans, sliced almonds, and sunflower seeds. Use any of your favorite nuts, but be sure to add the same quantities as written in the recipe.
    • Coconut Oil: To make this granola with only natural ingredients, use unrefined coconut oil. It won't add any overwhelming coconut flavor. 
    • Maple Syrup: Only use pure, Grade A maple syrup. Other maple syrups have added sugars and other additives. 
    • Cinnamon: Add a tablespoon of cinnamon, plus any other spices you'd like!
    • Vanilla Extract: Optional, but adds even more flavor!
    • Dried Fruit: I like to add dried cherries to my granola, but other great options are dried cranberries, golden raisins, or regular raisins (if you can tolerate them lol).

    A few tips to make this homemade maple nut granola:

    • Add in your favorite nuts and other extras, but be sure to add the same quantities as what is written in the recipe in order to maintain the same dry to liquid ratio. 
    • Be sure to wait to add the dried fruit until after the granola has been baked.
    • Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for several weeks. 

    Happy baking! x
