Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 °F and line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl mix together the oatmeal, flaxseed and salt. (Don't add in the nuts!)
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat combine the chopped medjool dates, chopped apple, water, cinnamon and nutmeg. Heat the date mixture until the dates practically dissolve and the apple becomes soft, stirring often. Place the date and apple mixture into a food processor or blender and process until a smooth paste forms.
  • Pour the date/apple mixture over the oats and stir well to make sure all of the oats are coated.
  • Spread the oat mixture evenly over your two prepared baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes. Stir, rotate the pans, and bake for 10 more minutes.
  • After 25 minutes of baking, remove the pans and add in your chopped nuts. Stir. Bake 20 more minutes, stirring half way through.
  • Remove the pans and allow the granola to cool. Add in the raisins and store in an airtight container.

Notes

*I used ½ cup walnuts, ½ cup almonds, ½ cup pecans.
**Use whatever dried fruit you like best!
