Apple Pie Granola

DESCRIPTION

This fall-inspired cinnamon apple pie granola is packed with rolled oats, toasted pecans and chunky dried apple pieces. Naturally sweetened with monkfruit and a touch of maple syrup, it’s low in sugar, vegan, dairy-free and oh-so-delicious!

INGREDIENTS

• 270g rolled oats
• 100g pecans
• 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 3 tbsp almond butter
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp monk fruit concentrate
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 50g dried apple

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together rolled oats, pecans and 1.5 tsp cinnamon.
3. In another mixing bowl, mix together melted coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup, monkfruit concentrate and salt until combined.
4. Drizzle wet mixture over dry mixture and toss to combine.
5. Transfer mixture to lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
6. Remove granola from the oven and let cool completely.
7. Meanwhile, cut dried apple into 0.4 inch cubes using kitchen scissors. Then toss in the remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon to coat evenly.
8. When granola is completely cool, stir in cinnamon apple pieces. Store granola in an airtight container in a cool and dry place in the pantry. Enjoy!

NOTES

• Enjoy this granola with yogurt, milk, in a parfait or sprinkle it on top of a smoothie bowl!
• Store granola in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot in the pantry for up to 2-3 weeks.
• Make sure your granola is completely cool before mixing in the dried apple.
• Feel free to substitute almond butter with any other neutral-tasting nut or seed butter.
• I like to combine sweeteners for better taste, but feel free to substitute monkfruit concentrate and/ or maple syrup with any other sweetener of choice to suit your dietary needs.
