While pumpkin pie may be my absolute favorite fall treat, I also adore pecan pie. so sugary, full of crunchy sweet pecans… and butter. and more sugar. With one of my favorite not-so-healthy treats in mind, I created this delicious and wholesome granola to get my pecan pie fix without all the those extra calories!
What I love most is that the ingredient list is incredibly short (probably things you all have on hand!) and can be stirred together all in one bowl.
Oh! and it’s vegan too.

I was just looking for a granola recipe and this looks amazing!
Jess recently posted..Nine simple ways to turn a cardboard box into fun!
so glad to hear that Jess! This granola is a favorite of mine.
Would it be okay to use coconut oil? just wondering cause I love it and I have it on hand…:)
yes! Coconut oil would be a fabulous substitute. Thanks for asking Tasha! Hope you love this granola as much as I do.
Should be renamed Granola Crack! Doubled the recipe and my husband (who does not like “healthy” food) and I ate it all in 3 days. Thank you for the recipe!
I love this granola too Julie! I haven’t made it in a few months. Now I must make it again.
Thanks for reporting back!
