Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup Raw walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Dried unsweetened cranberries
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, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir everything together until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried unsweetened cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
