- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 2½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp ground flaxseed
Wet ingredients:
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup maple syrup

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine dry ingredients of steel cut oats, chopped nuts, cinnamon, salt, and ground flax to a medium/ large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
In a small dish stir together wet ingredients: vanilla, maple syrup, almond butter, and oil, and mix until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with your dry ingredients and fold in until thoroughly mixed.
Transfer your granola to the baking sheet, spread across the baking sheet until about 1cm thick and press down with the back of spatula.
Transfer your granola to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until slightly golden.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet (this will give you nice big clusters of granola!)
