This Easy Vegan Stovetop Granola with Pecan Butter is a wholesome and flavorful breakfast or snack option made on the stove. Using rolled oats toasted to golden perfection and combined with rich pecan butter, maple syrup, and warm spices, this granola delivers a crunchy texture and nutty depth without the need for baking. Perfect for enjoying as cereal, with yogurt, or as a standalone snack, it is simple to prepare and naturally vegan and gluten-free when using certified oats.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: About 2 cups of granola, serves 4 as a snack or cereal

Ingredients

Granola Base

  • 1 1/4 cups (125g) old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup pistachios or nuts/seeds of choice

Wet Ingredients & Flavorings

  • 5 tablespoons (80g) pecan butter or walnut butter
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Toast the Oats: Add the oats to a high-quality nonstick pan and optionally spray a bit with nonstick spray for extra crispness. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Initially, the oats won’t brown, but soon they will quickly turn golden. Watch carefully or remove the pan from heat briefly as needed.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the oats are golden, add pecan or walnut butter, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, ginger, sea salt, and pistachios. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring often, for another 5 to 10 minutes until the granola turns very golden brown and crispy.
  3. Cool and Crisp: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the cooked granola evenly on the pan and let it cool for 10 minutes. This resting time allows the granola to set and crisp up, as it will be soft immediately after cooking.
  4. Serve: Enjoy your granola as is for a crunchy snack, as a cereal with your favorite plant-based milk, or served alongside yogurt and fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Pecan Butter: Pecan butter is used for richness and flavor, substituting for oil or butter. Choose a runny nut butter like pecan or walnut butter so it crisps well when cooked stovetop.
  • For gluten-free preparation, ensure rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Adjust nuts or seeds to your preference; pistachios add a nice flavor and texture but can be swapped.
  • Watch closely during toasting to avoid burning, as oats brown rapidly at the end of toasting.
