Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup Raw walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the dry ingredients, stirring to distribute the spices evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.
Spread the granola mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time, until the granola is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up and become crunchy.
Once cooled, mix in the unsweetened dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
