I call this my Thanksgiving granola because of the delightful addition of pecans and cranberries. Slightly sweet and crunchy.
*See Kitchen Notes for more information.
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and stir with an ovenproof spatula. Return to the oven for another 20 minutes. Remove and stir in the cranberries. (I pour the granola back into the original mixing bowl to mix in the cranberries. It prevents the granola from going everywhere.)
As with any granola, you can add or substitute as much as you like; however, I like the simplicity of this granola so I’ve never really altered it.
For the dried cranberries, I use Craisins.
It’s not as sweet as most granola, so if you like your granola sweet, you can increase the brown sugar to 2 Tbsp. or, for an even sweeter granola, increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup.
