Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir the granola. This ensures even cooking.
Step 7
Return the granola to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Step 9
Once cooled, stir in the raisins, then transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage.
