Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a 9x13 pan, combine the oats, almonds, chia seeds, pecans and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- In a small bowl, add the matcha powder. Slowly pour the maple syrup in while whisking continuously to remove any lumps. Set aside.
Mix and Bake
- Drizzle the oil over the dry ingredients. Use your hands or a spatula to stir the ingredients well, making sure everything is coated. Repeat with the maple-matcha mixture.
- For crumbly granola: bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. For chunkier, sweeter granola: after 15 minutes of baking, stir in 1/4 cup additional maple syrup and 1/4 cup coconut flakes. Bake for 15 more minutes and let cool 5 minutes before stirring.
Notes
- This granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- For a more intense matcha flavor, increase the matcha powder to 1.5 tablespoons.
- Serve with milk, yogurt, or eat as a snack straight from the jar.
