Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cardamom, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats and chopped pistachios until everything is evenly coated.
Bake: Spread the granola in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant.
Cool and Store: Let the granola cool on the baking sheet, it will crisp up as it cools. Transfer to an airtight container once fully cooled.

Notes

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 4 weeks, or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. It defrosts quickly at room temperature and remains fresh and crunchy.

Serving ideas: Delicious over vegan yogurt, with plant-based milk, on smoothie bowls, or sprinkled over fruit.

Flavor variations: Try adding orange zest or a pinch of cinnamon along with the maple syrup for a cozy twist.

Oil-free option: You can replace the coconut oil with an additional 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, but the granola will be slightly less crisp.
