Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Granny Smith apples
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Wash and core the Granny Smith apples, leaving the skins on for added texture. Using a box grater or a food processor, shred the apples into thin pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded apples, rolled oats, raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Use a spatula to thoroughly coat the granola mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer across dehydrator trays lined with parchment paper or silicone sheets. Be sure not to layer it too thickly for proper air circulation.
Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C) and allow the granola to dry for 6-8 hours, or until it is completely dry and crunchy. Check periodically to break up any large clumps for even dehydration.
Once the granola is fully dried, remove it from the dehydrator and let it cool to room temperature.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy on its own, with yogurt, or as a topping for smoothie bowls!
