My second granola of the day. I am posting as I am baking.

Quinoa Granola

3 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups cooked quinoa
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cardamom
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tbsp vanilla
1/4 cup maple syrup

 

Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Pour wet ingredients over the dry and mix well. Pour granola onto a baking sheet covered with a silpat or parchment paper. You will need two prepared baking sheets for this entire recipe. Spread out evenly and bake at 325F for 20 minutes. Stir and bake another 20 minutes or until crunchy.

20 servings in this recipe. 1/4 cup per serving for 4 points.
