Description

An easy homemade granola with less sugar and made with Splenda’s US-Grown Stevia


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw, nuts (such as macadamias, almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Splenda Stevia
  • 1/2 cup dried fruits (such as cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots) – optional


Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C)
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, vanilla and salt.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well coated.
  4. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  7. Once cooled, stir in the dried fruits, if using.
  8. Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
