Ingredients
1/4 dried apricots (diced up)
4 tbsp brown rice syrup
1/4 cup un packed brown sugar
1 tbsp of chia seeds
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup of dried cranberries
1 Tbsp. of ground cinnamon
1 tbsp of ground flax
1 tbsp agave nectar or Maple Syrup
2 1/2 cups Old Fashion Oatmeal
3 tbsp peanut butter
1/4 dried pineapple (diced up) (My favorite)
5 cups of rolled mixed oats (I used Trader Joe's Rolled Oats, I ran out of Old Fashion Oats, and I had to dig into my other stash of oatmeal)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 tbsp applesauce, unsweetened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the wet ingredients. Stir well. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- In a very large mixing bowl, Mix together the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet mixture (while still warm!) over the top of the dry mixture and stir well. It will be very thick and hard to stir, but keep at it until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Spread onto a pan lined with parchment paper or a non-stick mat and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven every 15 minutes and give the granola a good stir to ensure even baking.
- Allow to cool for 20-25 minutes on the pan before serving. The granola will get harder as it cools.
- Enjoy!!
