Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 Cup Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
- 1 1/2 Cup Puffed Millet
- 1 Cup (20g) No-Sugar Added Freeze-Dried Apple
- 3 TB Hulled Hemp Seeds
- 2 TB Milled Flax Seeds
- 1/3 Cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
- 2 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 6 Drops of Liquid Stevia (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, puffed millet, freeze-dried apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, hemp seeds, and milled flax, and mix together.
- Next, add the wet ingredients, including the applesauce, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener. Mix the granola until everything is coated.
- Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper and evenly spread the granola on the sheet in a pressed-down layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the granola is golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely, undisturbed, before breaking it up and storing it in an airtight container.
Notes
- If you want a sweeter granola, you can add a few drops of liquid stevia to keep it sugar-free, or a liquid sweetener such as maple syrup, brown rice syrup, or vegan honey. A little brown sugar (or sugar-free brown sugar) would be great too.
- Mixing your granola during the baking process will lead to non-clumpy granola! If you want clusters, make sure to pat the granola down in a single layer on your baking sheet and do not touch it! Allow it to cool completely before breaking it up and storing.
- Storage: You can store granola for up to 1 month at room temperature in a sealed container like a glass jar, or up to 3 months in the fridge for best quality.
