Description
This granola is low fat and low sugar, unlike many commercial granolas. The ingredients are flexible.
Ingredients
| 6 | c | rolled oats (or a combo of rolled grains) |
| 2 | c | raw almonds, walnuts, pecans or other nuts |
| 1⁄2 | c | raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds |
| 1⁄2 | c | sesame seeds or flax seed |
| 1 | c | wheat germ or ground flax seed |
| 1 | T | each of ground cinnamon and ground ginger |
| 1⁄2 | t | salt |
| 8 | oz | unsweetened applesauce (i use 2 individual servings) |
| 1⁄3 | c | agave nectar, honey, brown rice syrup or maple syrup |
| 2 | T | olive oil |
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Mix the wet ingredients, including salt and spices, in a small bowl. Mix all other dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir well to mix thoroughly. If you want to also add 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut, do that now.
Spread the mixture on two lipped baking dishes. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until evenly browned, stirring every 10 - 15 minutes to ensure even browning. If you want to add dried fruit, add 1/2 cup (raisins, cranberries, dates) stir it in after the granola has cooled. Store in the refrigerator and it will keep almost indefinitely.
