Maple Pecan Granola

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 3 Tbsp canola oil
• 2 Tbsp packed light-brown sugar
• 1 large egg white
• 1 tsp maple extract
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

1. Heat your oven to 300 degrees. Put the oats and pecans in a large mixing bowl.
2. In another mixing bowl, whisk together everything else. Pour that mixture over the oats, then toss until the oats and pecans are evenly coated.
3. Transfer the granola to a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, and spread it out in an even layer. Bake for about 40 – 45 minutes, stirring once midway through; it should turn crisp after it sits at room temperature for a few minutes.
4. Let the granola cool all the way, then keep it in an airtight container at room temperature.
