Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats

1 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup melted margarine

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2/3 cup raisins

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted margarine, honey, and ground cinnamon until well blended.

  4. Pour the honey-margarine mixture over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula until all ingredients are evenly coated.

  5. Spread the granola mixture in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring every 5–7 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet, about 10 minutes. The granola will continue to crisp as it cools.

  8. Once fully cooled, stir in the raisins to distribute evenly throughout.

  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

This is a straightforward granola that checks most boxes for Charlotte shoppers: oats, pecans, honey, cinnamon, raisins, and margarine are all stocked at every major chain, and North Carolina pecans are local when in season. The stated 35 minutes is honest if you count baking time, though active prep is closer to 10 minutes. At roughly $0.50–0.70 per serving depending on pecan prices, it's genuinely cheap and reheats perfectly for weeks. The only minor friction is that coconut (the shredded kind) isn't always visible at Food Lion or ALDI in the baking aisle, requiring a quick scan or a pivot to Harris Teeter, which is a small inconvenience but not a deal-breaker for a pantry staple you'll make again.
