Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir the granola. This ensures even cooking.
Return the granola to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the raisins, then transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
