Ingredients

  • 3 cups old -fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened large coconut flakes
  • 1 cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg white

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut flakes, and chopped pecans.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk the egg white in a small bowl until frothy, then add to the liquid mixture.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until every oat is thoroughly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and press down firmly with a spatula to create a compact, even layer.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through, but do not stir the granola during baking to preserve clusters.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the pan for at least 1 hour to let the chunks harden.
  • Break the cooled granola into desired chunk sizes and store in an airtight container.
