Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup almond slices
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond slices, and sunflower seeds.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the oats are fully coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, gently stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the fresh blueberries. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
