Ingredients

• 3 cups Old fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cup Raw pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cup Raw walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Natural unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut.

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon and salt to the dry ingredients and stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey (or maple syrup) and applesauce together, stirring gently until well combined.

Step 5

Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring once at the halfway point, until the granola is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools.

Step 10

Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
