Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add nuts, dates, and unsweetened shredded coconut to a bowl of a food processor and pulse to slightly chop nuts. Add spices and salt and pulse again to evenly distribute.

In a bowl whisk together applesauce, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Place wet ingredient into the bowl of food processor with nut mixture and pulse to combine.

Evenly distribute granola (using fingers) on prepared baking sheet.

Place in oven for 30 to 40 minutes until golden.

The granola will harden up once cooled completely.
