Granola Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

Grease a large baking pan with melted butter using a pastry brush, or use vegetable oil or nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup whole almonds, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, and 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds.

Add 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the dry ingredients and mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup brown rice syrup.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and toss until everything is well combined and the oats are moistened.

Spread the mixture evenly onto the greased baking pan.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even browning.

After baking, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Once cooled, break the granola into chunks or flakes, depending on your preference, and store in a covered container.
