Ingredients
1
cup
chopped pecans
2
cups
Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
½
cup
shredded peeled sweet potato
¼
cup
packed light brown sugar
1
tsp
ground cinnamon
½
tsp
salt
2
tbsp
maple syrup or agave
2
tbsp
canola oil
1
tsp
vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep nearby.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients until well combined. Make sure the shredded sweet potato does not clump too much.
Spread the granola evenly in a very thin layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, until you smell the toasting sugar and pecans. Remove from the oven and stir, then spread evenly again.
Bake another 15 minutes, until the pecans are a rich golden brown (but not burnt).
All the granola to cool and crisp up completely before enjoying.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
