Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries, if using, and transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a healthy snack on its own!
