Seeded Pecan Granola Recipe (2024)

The recipe is sugar-loaded, roughly 1/4 cup to each cup of oats! I use 1/4 cup of honey to 10.5 cups (the whole box, 1.2kg) of rolled oats, and it's more than sweet enough. I add .5 cups water to the honey, pour it over the oats-seeds-spice mix, and bake at 245 for 4 hours, tossing once during the process. When done, I add equal measures of dates and walnuts, after chopping them in a cuisinart (walnuts prevent dates from turning into a glue ball)

I decided to cut back the sweetener by about half and it still remained plenty sweet. I don't even think the cane sugar is necessary at all. Also, it was a little too salty in my opinion, so I might suggest cutting the salt in half as well.

I add an egg white to the mix which makes the granola extra crunchy and shiny.

Reduced coconut oil to 1/4 cup. Did not add sugar. Added 10 minutes to total cooking time.

This can be made without any processed sugar or oil. I put the oats into a bowl and pour in some good quality apple juice and mix the into clumps - then bake in the oven until toasted. Then add the pre toasted nuts and seeds and some dried fruit. It is a much healthier option and still has that lovely crunch as opposed to a muesli.

Per other comments, I reduced the amount of sweetener: ¼ cup + 2 Tbsps maple syrup, 2 Tbsps sugar. I also reduced the salt to 1 tsp. Very tasty!

This is awesome. If you are making this to impress someone and you don't care about calories, I would make it exactly as the directions specify. If you are making this because you want something healthy, then I'd probably reduce the sugar and fat content as some suggest.

On the recommendation from my friend, I doubled the cinnamon, doubled the pumpkin seeds, added chia seeds (i free-handed about 1 tbsp), added flax seeds (also free-handed 1 tbsp), and decreased the sugar by 1/4 (tho my friend told me to decrease by 1/2 but I didn’t want to). I left it in the oven a little extra to get a little more toasted. Came out delicious—I love the saltiness and it’s not overly sweet. Also I love the addition of the extra cinnamon and seeds. Autumnal AF!

What is the amount of coconut oil to be used? The amount listed isn't clear. Thank you!

Start with the wet ingredients for the Coconut Pecan Cluster recipe and combine it with the dry ingredients from this recipe. Don’t add Brown Sugar and add pecans and Coconut after it is almost fully browned. Coconut at the very end or it will brown too much.

Add dried cherries and perhaps quartered dried apricots, golden raisins

118 ml=1/2 cup

120 ml converts to 1/2 cup

The reason I make rather than buy Granola is to eliminate the sugar and salt. So that is what I did with this recipe. I also cut maple syrup in half. It came out pretty well, but next time I will cook at 350 - it was a little overcooked for my taste.

great recipe

Most granola is over sweetened; I make a granola that is good for us with 16 c rolled oats, 6 c pecans or walnuts, 12 c coconut chips, 1 heaping T Diamond salt, 1 c avo oil, cinnamon, hemp seeds, oand a cup of honey or maple syrup. Add water to make it cohesive, and roast at 275, turning and stirring every 30 min until dark golden brown and crunchy. It will get crunchier as it cools, and you will have plenty for a few weeks!

I have never liked cereal, not even granola but I had all the ingredients and I figured I would give it a try. I just finished making my third batch. I followed recipe as directed and based upon all the comments I might reduce sugar/oil when I make it again. Delicious.

This is the ideal granola recipe.

My granola 2 cups old fashioned oars 1/2 cup each of slivered almond,chopped pecans and chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut and 1/4 cup neutral oil and 1/4 cup maple syrup .bake at 300 degrees for at 60 minutes, stirring at 30:minutes

This is a delicious recipe. I use only 2 tbsp Turbinado sugar, but all of the called for real maple syrup. Also use less salt, generous 1/2 tsp of Kosher salt. Really good, fresh pecans make it happen! If I'm feeling particularly decadent, I eat the granola with whole milk and fresh strawberries. Ahhhh....

This recipe is quite boring and flat compared to the Eleven Madison Park granola. Lacks acidity. After 30 minutes baking time, oats are undercooked and seeds are too browned. Better to cook at 300 for 40 minutes. Will not use this recipe again.

I've now made this 6-8 times. Always turns out great BUT I notice it takes longer than 10 minutes - more like 14 minutes - on each cycle to get it golden at the edges.

So good in every way! People are complaining that it's too sweet and it might be if you eat it by the bowl full but it's perfect as a topping for yogurt or ice cream. I love it and have given it to several friends and they love it too!

I agree to cut the salt in half or don't add salt at all. I used 2 C pecans, cashews, and almonds and also added sesame seeds. In the last 3 minutes I added coconut and chopped apricots. Turned out well except for the salt.

Replaced oil with butter, no added sugar or supplement with cherries candied ginger and coconut flakes

Loved this recipe except it is way too sweet. I will leave out the sugar next time as I am sure the maple syrup will be enough to sweeten this.

We too found this recipe too sweet so I eliminate the maple syrup-coated pecan step and add the pecans (sliced almonds also work) directly to the oat mixture. To sweeten, I use 2 Tbsp of maple syrup plus 1/4 cup tightly packed light or dark brown sugar. Just be certain to thoroughly mix in the sugar. I prefer a neutral oil such as canola or sunflower. This recipe is a regular in our granola rotation.P.S. Apologies for the duplication, the first 2 attempts disappeared from the screen.

I listened to all the commenters who said to cut the sugar content and the recipe was a knockout even without all the sweetener. (I prefer a more savory granola anyway). I basically just did a proper splash of syrup on the pecans (as opposed to the 1/4c) and did about an 1/8th or so of maple syrup and a few tbsps of clove sugar in the granola proper. So good. And so easy to throw together!
