Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup Raw pecans, chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
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 pecans, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the oat mixture is thoroughly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the optional raisins if desired, and then transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or on its own as a healthy snack.
