Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 0.5 cup raw walnuts
- 0.5 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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, almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pecans. Stir well to mix all the nuts with the oats.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the oat and nut mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the granola turns a golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Step 7
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it achieve a crispy texture.
Step 8
After cooling, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or as a snack by itself.
