Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw walnuts
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened apple sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure an even mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, honey, apple sauce, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking, until the granola is lightly golden and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack, or as a topping for yogurt or smoothie bowls.
