Ingredients
- 6 cups of old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups of finely chopped walnuts
- ½ cup of flax meal (ground flax seeds)
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of peanut butter
- ¾ cup of brown sugar
- ½ cup of applesauce
- ⅓ cup of Canola Oil
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F ( 120 degrees C ). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, flax meal, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, applesauce, and canola oil. Heat over medium and stir, just until ingredients are well-combined. Remove from heat, add the vanilla and stir again.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oat mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Divide the granola between baking sheets, spreading evenly. Bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until the granola is golden and feels dry.
- Allow to cool completely and store in an air-tight container.

Notes
- Experiment with add-ins: With so many options, have fun experimenting to find your favorite flavor combinations.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: If you add too much, it won’t toast evenly and may not become crunchy. Likewise, not adding enough means the homemade granola won’t form clusters.
- Let it cool completely before breaking it apart: It firms up as it cools and becomes sturdy. This is particularly important if you want clusters.
- Adjust the sweetness: Increase/reduce the sugar or even use a sugar-free option.
