Granola fast/ no oll

Can’t stop eating this. I actually just made 1:2 of the recipe below.

Ingredients :

2 cups oats ( I used gf rolled oats quick ones as it was all I had and it still came out fine)

1/3 cup maple syrup 

1/3 cup applesauce (made my own)

Handful chopped pecans

Handful slivered almonds

1/8 tsp to 1/4 tsp ground cardamom 

Sprinkle salt and cinnamon to taste


Preheat oven 350F.

Mix the above ingredients (you can wait on the nuts and add them after cooking, along with raisins and coconut flakes)and press down on parchment lined pan.  Bake 10 minutes then flip. Bake another 5 to 10 minutes until crunchy. Watch carefully last minutes as it can brown fast. Note: the quick oats take about 15 minutes. Sometimes I turn the oven down to the 200’s after the first 15 minutes and let it crisp further for a while.

Additions after cooking: raisins or other dried fruit, coconut flakes.

For a different version that uses sweet potato for the sweat part there is a recipe to be found at the following link— this one takes a looooong time in the oven and I have to add a lot of things to it afterwards- raisins, coconut, nuts and fruit— just not as tasty as the recipe above. https://nutritionfacts.org/recipe/groatnola/

Sometimes I use:

3 cups whole oats

1/2 large sweet potato mashed

1/2 cup applesauce 

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

Mix all together placing in parchment lined pan baking at 350 for 10 minutes then flipping and cooking 10 more minutes then reduce heat to 250 and cook around 40 minutes or until crisp as you like it.

Remove from oven and add raisins, nuts, coconut or whatever.
