Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

OvenPreheat

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, add the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, shredded coconut, and pecans. Stir to combine. Pour in the olive oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and stir to combine. Add the almond butter last, and stir to combine. If it clumps in some areas that's fine - clumps in granola are the best!

Step 3

Spread the granola out so that it's mostly flat onto your lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. After the initial 12 minutes, stir the granola on the pan, making sure to move the bits on the edges to the inside of the pan, so they don't burn. Bake for 11-15 more minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 4

Let it cool completely before putting into a storage container. Stirring the granola around when it's done baking but before it cools can ruin any clumps that have formed. Store at room temp in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
