Apple Cinnamon Granola

If you’re not quite in the fall mood yet, this recipe will get you there instantly! It’s the perfect recipe for making big, crunchy granola clusters that hold together beautifully. It’s so delicious that I ate three-quarters of my last batch straight from the jar… like cookies!

Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup Sliced or roughly chopped almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 servings RAW Nutritional Vegan Pro Cinnamon Roll flavor
- 2 medium Apples, grated and well squeezed
- 1/4 cup Melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup Almond butter
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup

Method

1- Place the oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

2- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: oats, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, almonds, salt, and RAW Nutritional protein powder.

3- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the coconut oil, maple syrup, and almond butter.

4- Add the liquid mixture and the grated, well-squeezed apples to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined.

5- Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly with a spatula to compact it.

6- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and dry. Do not stir during baking.

7- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before breaking the granola into clusters.

Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
