Cranberry Pecan Granola is the perfect addition to add to your list of recipes to make this holiday season. This homemade granola is made with wholesome ingredients like organic oats, pecan butter and maple syrup. Its so easy to make and comes together in until 40 minutes.

Ingredients needed to make Cranberry Pecan Granola

The ingredient list is short and sweet to make this cranberry pecan granola. All you need is old fashioned oats, I like to use organic, Pecans, shredded coconut, and a sweetener like maple syrup!

• Oats – I like to use organic oats and usually grab a container from Trader Joe’s during my weekly run. They’re a pantry staple in my kitchen — perfect for granola, overnight oats, and beyond.
• Chopped pecans – You can buy them pre-chopped or grab whole ones and chop them yourself (that’s what I did here!). Either way, they add the perfect crunch.
• Sliced coconut – I love using sliced coconut because you get bigger pieces in each bite, but shredded coconut works too if that’s what you have on hand.
• Ground flax – I like adding ground flax into recipes when I can. It blends right in without affecting flavor and is a great addition to granola-style mixes.
• Spices – A mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt gives this recipe that cozy, warm flavor.
• Pecan butter – I used Abby’s Better Pecan Butter — it has such a rich, nutty flavor and works so well in this recipe.
• Maple syrup – Go for a quality pure maple syrup if you can. It adds a deep, natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the pecans and spices.
• Dried cranberries – These add a pop of tartness and chewy texture. You could also try raisins, chopped dates, or dried cherries for a fun swap.
