Granola is great for breakfast, a snack or as a topping for lots of different desserts. Unfortunately granola from the supermarket can have lots of added sugar and preservatives. So here is a simple recipe, with very few ingredients, to make your own granola at home

Ingredients

• 3 cups oats
• 1/2 cup walnuts – chopped
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt

Method

• Preheat your oven to 120 degrees C
• Put your oats and walnuts in a large mixing bowl
• In a separate bowl, mix all remaining ingredients
• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the oats and nuts and mix them well. 
• Place baking paper on a baking tray and lay the mixture evenly on the tray
• Bake for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes so it doesn’t burn. It’s done when it feels dry and has a nice golden brown color
