Description
Packed with nuts and seeds, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and sprinkled with fall spices and fresh diced apples, apple cinnamon granola is a tasty and healthy fall breakfast.
Ingredients
-
2.5 cups rolled oats (not thick cut! Or else it will be too chewy)
-
3/4 cups nuts, chopped (1 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup sliced almonds is the ratio I use)
-
1/2 cup seeds (Pepitas, sunflower, flax)
-
1 large apple, diced
-
1/3 cup oil
-
1/4 cup maple syrup
-
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
-
1/8 tsp nutmeg
-
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 350 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
-
Mix it til shimmery: In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until thoroughly mixed. All the ingredients should be shimmery, this will ensure that everything is coated well in oil.
-
Bake: Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and press the oats down with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake for 24 minutes, stirring halfway and repressing the oats. Bake until oats are golden brown. Start checking around 20ish minutes as you don’t want them to burn!
-
Let cool: This part is very important to form nice big granola clusters
