Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Raw pecans, chopped
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Raisins (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, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the oat mixture is thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the optional raisins if desired, and then transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.

Step 9

Enjoy as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or on its own as a healthy snack.
