Here’s the one I used this time ...
4 cups oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup pumpkin seeds (These fell under the category of needing to be used.)
1 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans because that's what I had.)
1 tsp salt
Mix all together
In a separate bowl mix:
3 cups applesauce
4 tablespoons vanilla
Mix the applesauce mixture into the dry ingredients really
well (I used my hands).
Spread out no more than 1 inch thick on a baking pan/sheet.
Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10
minutes.
Cool and then add dried fruit of choice (I added crasins because that's what I had on hand that needed to be used!).
I stored mine in the refrigerator and use it to add to yogurt, as a snack or as a cereal.
until next time,

Very similar to the recipe I use, except mine uses honey instead of applesauce, and a little cinnamon. Think I'll try it with applesauce next time. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLori, you are welcome. I bet the honey and cinnamon is good too!
DeleteThis is on my to do list. My big jar was finished and washed on Sunday and I am looking forward to a new batch. I have some sugared nut salad toppings that are way too sweet for salads that will go in this batch to get used up.
ReplyDeleteLana, granola is a good way to use up all those little bits, isn't it. I do that too and is the reason why I chose to use pumpkin seeds in this batch ... they needed to be used!
DeleteThat does sound tasty and I have everything needed - might just add this to my list to try on Saturday - I plan on doing a fair bit of baking!
ReplyDeleteMargie, Don't you love the way your house smells on baking days!
DeleteThis recipe looks really good, Patsy. I like that it doesn't use oil or sugar. Thanks for posting it. Since I have all the ingredients I will be making some this week. Thanks ks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteCookie, the fact that it doesn't use oil or sugar is the reason I have it in my collection! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
DeleteI make a homemade granola, but it is full of sugar! I will definitely be trying out your recipe. I have everything on hand, which already makes this recipe a winner in my book.
ReplyDeleteKelsey, it's pretty basic so that's a winner in my book!
DeleteSounds and looks delicious. Thank you for the recipe
ReplyDeleteTammy, I find it quite yummy!
DeleteThanks for the granola recipe. It sounds really good and healthy. What could I substitute for coconut? Coconut is one of the few foods that I don't like. :(
ReplyDeleteKathy, you can just leave it out or add another kind of nut or seed like sunflower seeds or add another dried fruit once the oat mixture is cooled. You could really substitute anything, just keep in mind if it's a fruit, wait until the oat mixture is cooled.
