Oh My Goodness! I have to stop making this stuff so much, It's too freakin' good! Ha ha, this granola is a good source of energy for working out, or even a nature walk. It mostly has unsaturated fat from extra virgin olive oil and the nuts, but there is some saturated fat from the chocolate. It will give instant energy from the cranberries and chocolate, but long lasting energy from the nuts and whole wheat oats. I used some local honey and a bit of extra virgin olive oil to create little "crunchies" as I like to call them. Bake for about 15 minutes at 425 degrees then let it cool for about half an hour. Believe me, try to restrain yourself, it's so worth the wait. Your going to want to make this recipe over and over and over!
2 cups organic instant oats
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 heaping tsp kosher sea salt
1/4 cup local organic honey
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp organic pure vanilla
1/3 cup organic applesauce
2 organic egg whites
1 cup any organic nut/chocolate/dried fruit mixture
Mix all together, bake 425 for 15 mins. After cooled a bit, add nut/fruit mixture; ENJOY!
