Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnut halves
- 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the raw almonds and walnuts a few times until they are roughly chopped. Do not over-process; we want chunks, not a fine meal.
Transfer the chopped nuts to a large mixing bowl and add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Stir to combine the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, store your Whole30 Gluten-Free Granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
