Homemade Granola, Homemade Goodness
We all grew up loving the crunchy goodness of Nature Valley Granola bars. Ah, Oats 'n Honey, Peanut butter, Chocolate chip. They were all my favorite and a great go-to for a quick snack or breakfast. Let's make our own! It's easy and you can basically add what you like for your sweet tooth. A handful of granola with fresh fruit is the perfect pick-me-up for your day!
Ingredients
3 cups Rolled Oats
1/2 cup chopped Walnuts
1/4 - 1/2 Cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 + cup unsweetened applesauce (might need a little extra for mixing)
1/4 cup of honey
2 tsps of cinnamon
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 325* Whisk together your applesauce and honey. Blend well with remaining ingredients. Spread on a Parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 45 minutes until it feels dry and has a nice golden color. Allow to cool before eating.
*After granola has cooled a good bit, I add Dark Chocolate Morsels - about 1/4 cup to add the yummy sweetness of chocolate! I LOVE CHOCOLATE! Experiment with YOUR favorite flavor!
