Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon Matcha powder
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, matcha powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking and prevent burning. The granola should be golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing it to crisp up further as it cools.
Once cooled, store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
