• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Unsweetened dried cranberries

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 bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.

Step 3

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the dry ingredients, stirring to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently to form an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time, until the granola is golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven, allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up and become crunchy.

Step 9

Once cooled, mix in the unsweetened dried cranberries.

Step 10

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
