This SUGAR FREE granola can be baked in the oven or slowly dried in the dehydrator. When dehydrated, the fresh apple “sauce” clumps up to make beautiful granola clusters! [There will be clusters in the baked version, just not as large.] It’s delicious on its own, sprinkled over fruit, or enjoyed the classic way – in a bowl with almond milk [don’t forget the banana!…mmm]
Ingredients
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 3 cups almonds
  • 2 cups sunflower seeds
  • water
  • 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 apples, pureed in a Vitamix or food processor (similar consistency to apple sauce)
  • 2 lemons, zest only
  • 4 medium carrots, grated
  • 1 cup quinoa flakes (optional – you could also use rolled oats – just don’t get the instant kind!)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1½ cups raisins
Instructions
  1. Place pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds and vanilla extract in a large glass bowl. Fill bowl until all nuts and seeds are covered. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in fridge overnight
  2. Rinse nut and seed mixture before placing it in a large bowl
  3. Combine remaining ingredients
  4. Place on a ParaFlexx sheet (it should take up at least 4 sheets) and dry on 110F for 5-6 hours
