Healthy Granola Recipe

Wet Ingredients

1/3 Cup Applesauce

1/3 Cup Pure Honey

1 TBSP Pure Vanilla Extract

2 TBSP Water

Dry Ingredients

3 Cups Oatmeal (not instant or quick oats)

2 TBSP Ground Cinnamon

1 Cup Sliced Almonds

1 Cup Chopped Pecans

(You don't have to use almonds and pecans.....you can really choose 2 of your favorite nuts)

Extra Ingredients

Dried Blueberries (or your choice of dried fruit)

Shredded or Shaved UNSWEETENED Coconut

Tools

2 Medium Bowls

1 Large Spoon

1 Deep Cookie Sheet

1 Spatula

1 Oven

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Mix wet ingredients together in medium bowl, and mix the dry ingredients SEPARATELY in another medium bowl.  Once the two sets of ingredients are mixed, fold the wet into the dry.  

Spread the granola mixture onto the cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 18 minutes.

Use your spatula to stir up the granola on the cookie sheet.

Bake for 18 more minutes.

Once the granola is finished baking, add your desired amount of dried blueberries and coconut, and give the granola a stir on the cookie sheet.

Let the granola cool on the cookie sheet until it becomes crunchy.

I like to bag mine up into multiple little sandwich baggies for a quick on-the-go breakfast or snack.  You can also use the granola as a yummy, crunchy topping to your yogurt in the morning.

Enjoy!
