Introduction
Perfection in my opinion! The applesauce reduces the need for as much fat. This is the best granola because of the way it's roasted. I really like it with coconut too. The dried organic coconut is so small that even my picky eaters don't know it's there. Perfection in my opinion! The applesauce reduces the need for as much fat.

Ingredients
-
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup oat bran
2 cups puffed rice cereal
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1 tsp ground cinnamon
dash ground ginger
dash of salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
3.9 oz plain applesauce
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp canola oil
Directions
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.
