1/2 cup shredded coconut
3 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, pecans, coconut, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Pour the maple syrup and melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture in a semi-thick, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the pan to stir the granola to encourage clusters.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before serving or storing.
