I kept the integrity of the 'superfood' granola with the chia & flax seeds - both adding the antioxidants and nutrients your body needs to fuel up but it wouldn't be Nutritimentation if I didn't make a few changes :)
Cinnamon Superfood & Nut Granola
DRY
3 cups of old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (I used walnuts but feel free to use any kind!)
3 Tbsp of ground flaxseed
3 Tbsp of chia seeds
1 Tbsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
1/4 tsp of salt
1/3 cup of coconut sugar
WET
1 Tbsp of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of organic applesauce
1/2 cup of organic or local farm honey
1/2 Tbsp of melted coconut oil
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Also, prepare the cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and toss. In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients. Next, pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and toss until the oat mixture is well coated.
Spread the granola evenly on the lined cookie sheet and place in the oven for 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes, take it out and using a spatula or large spoon mix around the granola to separate any large bunches and to toast all sides. Place back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes until oats are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool before placing into a jar or container. Once cooled, feel free to add some extra superfoods like goji berries, mulberries, goldenberries, etc.
Or even some dried fruits like cranberries, blueberries, banana, etc.
Just the aroma of this granola makes it worth baking - the fact that it tastes amazing is just a plus! :) It's perfect to add to a morning fruit & granola parfait or as just a simple, healthy snack.
