Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to form an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries, if using, and transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
Step 9
Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a healthy snack on its own!
