Description
A simple recipe for homemade vegan granola featuring caramelized peaches and warming cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the oat mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir the granola.
- While the granola bakes, place the peach slices in a small skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle with coconut sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the sugar caramelizes slightly. Remove from heat.
- Return the granola to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp as it cools.
- Once cool, gently fold in the caramelized peach slices.
- Store the finished granola in an airtight container.
Notes
- For larger clusters, press the granola down firmly before the second bake and avoid stirring until completely cool.
- You can substitute peaches with other firm fruits like apples or pears.
