Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large pot, combine honey, brown sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until melted and well combined.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the rolled oats and pecan pieces to the pot, mixing until evenly coated in the honey mixture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in a thin, uniform layer.

  7. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes before breaking into clusters.
