Maple Pecan Granola Recipe

A friend had posted on Facebook that she was smelling her Maple Pecan Granola baking ~ I of course asked for the recipe.  It is now a family favourite.  How sad it will be when I run out of true maple syrup and need to wait to buy more! And yes, I followed these directions completely!  GASP!
