Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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, almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pecans. Stir well to mix all the nuts with the oats.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the oat and nut mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the granola turns a golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it achieve a crispy texture.
After cooling, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or as a snack by itself.
