Easy Vegan Stovetop Granola With Pecan Butter
You can make the easiest homemade vegan stovetop granola in just 20 minutes! You don't need the oven or a bunch of time. It is easy, gluten-free and absolutely delicious!
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups (125g) old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 cup pistachios or nuts/seeds of choice
- 5 tablespoons (80g) pecan butter or walnut butter (SEE NOTES)
- 1/4 cup (80g) pure maple syrup
- 1 heaping tablespoon (8g) ground golden flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- I use this scale.
Instructions
- Add the oats to a high quality nonstick pan and spray a little with nonstick spray if desired for more crisp. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until golden, stirring often to prevent burning. They will seem to not brown at first, but then will quickly turn golden. They can burn quickly at this point, so watch closely or remove the pan from the heat while you add the remaining ingredients.
- Add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring often, for 5-10 minutes until very golden brown.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the cooked granola out and let it sit to cool and crisp up for 10 minutes, as it will be too soft still from the stovetop.
- Eat as is, as cereal with milk or serve with yogurt and fruit of choice.
Notes
PECAN BUTTER:
I use pecan butter here for richness and flavor since we are not relying on oil or butter.
Since this is being cooked over the stovetop, you need a really runny nut butter so that it becomes crispy. Either pecan butter or walnut butter will work here.
