Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup Raw pecans, chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped dried dates (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
If using chopped dried dates for added sweetness, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the tray. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or frozen for longer shelf life.
