Prep Notes

This recipe I found in the "Healthy to Go" issue of Clean Eating magazine. I love it because it is simple to make, not overly sweet, and complements both sweet and savory dishes. I put it in my parfaits, on my smoothie bows, and it even on my pureed soups! Get creative! The quinoa and chia seeds give this granola an extra protein punch, while the overall flavor tends to hang on the lighter side. Unlike store bought granola, this recipe contains no added sugar, making it a smart complement to any meal. 

Cooking Time

45-50 minutes

Yields

2 cups

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry quinoa

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

2 tbs chia seeds

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 egg white 


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F and line a 9 x 13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, oats, coconut, chia, ginger and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Mix in applesauce. In a small bowl, beat egg white with a fork until foamy. Stir into quinoa mixture. Spread mixture on sheet in an even layer. Mist with cooking spray. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until browned and almost crisp. Remove from oven and set aside to cool in tray, about 20 minutes (it will crisp up further upon cooling)
