Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, honey, and pure vanilla extract until they are well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the oats and almonds are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down to ensure it bakes evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, checking every 15 minutes, stirring and flipping the granola midway to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.
Remove from the oven once golden brown and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, mix in the raisins and transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy your low-fat homemade granola with milk, yogurt, or as a snack on its own.
