Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped seeds or nuts ((such as hemp seeds, chopped cashews, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, or chopped walnuts))
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil ((like canola or coconut; if using coconut, melt it first))
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup ((optional))
  • 1 cup dried fruit ((such as raisins, dried cherries, or other diced dried fruit, optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • If using cashews or walnuts, chop in a blender or food processor.
  • Stir all ingredients together, except the dried fruit if using, well in a medium bowl. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until lightly golden brown. (You can stir halfway through if you're around but it's optional!)
  • Remove from oven and let cool fully on the pan.
  • Stir in dried fruit if using.
