Homemade Granola is naturally sweetened with applesauce and made with oats, nuts, chia seeds, and dried fruit. Serve it as a snack or a delicious topping for your favorite smoothies and yogurt bowls. Best of all, it bakes in just 30 minutes!
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F . Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the applesauce, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Cook the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes, until it is combined and smooth.
Step 3
Spread the granola out in a single layer about 1/2 inch (1-cm) thick on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the granola for 25 to 30 minutes, until it is light brown.
Step 4
Let it cool for at least 30 minutes for the granola to harden and become crispy. Break the granola into chunks, transfer it to a medium bowl, and toss it with the dried fruit. Store the granola in an airtight container.
