Lowfat Granola made with applesauce
- Number of Servings: 24
Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats1/2 cup oat bran2 cups puffed rice cereal1/4 cup flax seed meal1/2 cup slivered almonds1/2 cup unsweetened coconut1 tsp ground cinnamondash ground gingerdash of salt1/2 cup brown sugar3.9 oz plain applesauce1/3 cup maple syrup or honey1 tsp vanilla extract2 tbsp canola oil
Preheat the oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet (or two smaller sheets) with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine oats, puffed rice cereal, and spices. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, applesauce (do not use chunky applesauce), maple syrup and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients along with chopped nuts and stir to combine. Spread on prepared baking sheet(s) in an even layer. Press into pan with spatula if you'd like the end granola to be kind of chunky instead of granular.
Bake for 30 minutes, then turn over the granola carefully using a large wide spatula, and bake for additional 15 minutes, until crisp and golden. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, the center might not be fully dried if your granola layer is thick, so if necessary remove the edges of the cooked granola to a cooling rack and let the rest cook for another 10-15 minutes until done.
Cool on pan or on a wire rack.
Break granola up as desired and stir in dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.
Makes about 8 cups, more depending on add-ins.(add-ins not included) Serving size is configured for 1/3 of a cup.
Number of Servings: 24
