Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the pecans and any other add-ins. Stir until well combined and the maple coats all the oats. Add the mixture to the baking sheet and press gently together an an even layer that isn't too thick. Bake for 30 minutes, remove the baking pan to add the pecans. Stir to mix and press the mixture together again. Bake for another 30 minutes. Remove and do not touch the granola until it is cooled completely. Break apart the granola and store in air tight containers for up to a week.
