The Best { Gluten-Free Vegan } Granola Recipe – David Lebovitz
 
Cook time
Total time
 
Ingredients
  • 5 cups oats (quick)
  • 3 cups almonds
  • 1 3/4 cups sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp dried ground ginger
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup organic blue agave syrup (or.. honey)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
  2. Mix the first 7 ingredients together in the largest bowl you have. I like to use my hands to blend and crush any brown sugar lumps between your finger tips.
  3. In a medium saucepan, stir together the next four ingredients and heat gently until warmed through.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture over the draw and stir for quite a while until all of the ingredients are well blended. The granola should eventually begin to clump in the bowl. Inhale deeply, the fragrance of cinnamon and apple will warm your heart.
  5. Scrape the unbaked granola into a greased or lightly sprayed roasting pan or onto two cookies sheets, similarly prepared.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes in total, stopping every 10 minutes to stir (or the top will burn and the underneath won’t be browned). Your granola is finished when it is as toasted as you like. (I prefer my granola a little less crunchy so I take it out of the oven early.)
  7. Makes 9-10 cups of granola.
