Equipment

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup date paste (or sub maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar) see my recipe for homemade date paste on this blog
  • 1/4 cup creamy, runny almond butter
  • 1 snack container of applesauce 1/2 cup

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tsp ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup walnut halves or use a mix of your favorite nuts/ seeds
  • 1/2 cup white dried mulberries or golden raisins

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients and mix until completely smooth.
  • 3. Add in the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
  • 4. Spread mixture out on a baking sheet. Use your hands to press the granola into a flat even layer. Bake for 40 minutes total, flipping every 15 minutes (bake for 15, flip, another 15, flip, then bake another 10 minutes). When its finished it should be nicely browned without being burnt. Let it cool completely on the baking sheet for another 30 minutes or so.
