A delightful homemade granola recipe featuring the warm flavors of maple syrup and pecans, perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast.
Preheat your oven to 275°F.
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, pecans, raisins, and flax seeds.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, olive oil, and cinnamon.
Microwaving helps to blend the ingredients smoothly.
Microwave the mixture on high until it starts to bubble, then remove and stir in the vanilla.
Adding vanilla after heating preserves its flavor.
Pour the sweetener mixture over the oat mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the mixture thinly onto a baking sheet.
A thin layer ensures even toasting.
Bake for 15 minutes, then stir and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Stirring halfway through prevents burning and promotes even baking.
Allow the granola to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container for storage.
Cooling ensures the granola becomes crunchy.

Pairing with fresh fruits enhances the flavor and nutritional value.
