Homemade Granola Recepie

My family and I just go through so much Granola,that  it soon will become unhealthy. So of course I had to make more, so this time I just decided to make double.


This recipes here is not doubled, so it will make less than shown in the picture.

Ingredients:
5 1/2 cups of traditional rolled oats
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of ginger
3/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 cups of brown sugar
3/4 cups of applesauce (natural/unsweetened)
1/4 cups of honey
And then any, and as much dried fruits/ nuts that you want to add
(I added dried cranberries, dried apricots, dried cherries, almonds, and chopped cashews)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. In a large bowl mix together the oats, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. 
  3. In a medium bowl mix together the brown sugar, applesauce, and honey until thoroughly combined. 
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well, or until all the oats are moistened.
  5. Spread the oats on the prepared pan in an even layer. 
  6. Bake for 50 minutes, or until when touched are hard and not moist, also golden brown. After 25 minutes take granola out and very carefully turn over granola with a spatula. Return to oven.
  7. Take granola out and let it cool completely  
  8. Break up granola into chunks and stir in the dried fruit/ nut of your choosing
  9. Store in an air tight container.
Now it's time to eat your new healthy breakfast/ snack. 
Being that it's healthy you wont feel too bad when you eat way too much of it. Which you will, I promise you that, because it is just addicting. 
Granola good with yogurt and fruit, milk (like cereal), or just as a snack.
