Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Puffed rice cereal
• 0.5 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 0.25 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, puffed rice cereal, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract. Heat gently and stir until well blended, then remove from the heat.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully stir the granola to ensure even cooking. Flatten it back into an even layer.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely. It will crisp up further as it cools.

Step 9

Once cool, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 10

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, a cereal with milk, or a snack on its own!
