Cranberry White Chocolate Granola
Cranberry white chocolate granola is an easy, delicious, and festive granola that’s perfect for the holidays!
Yield: 3.5 cups
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups oats (I use old fashioned)
- ½ cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (or melted butter or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, pecans, cinnamon and salt and mix well.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, applesauce, oil and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until all of the dry ingredients are well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
- Bake at 325 for 15 minutes, then remove and stir and flip granola over so it bakes evenly. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove and add cranberries and white chocolate chips to the top of the granola. (This helps get the white chocolate a little softened and melted.)
- Let cool completely then store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes
If you like a really nutty granola, feel free to increase the pecans or walnuts to ¾ cup or a full cup.
I use applesauce here to cut down on how much oil is in the recipe - it keeps it lightened up. But feel free to adjust the amount of oil and applesauce to suit your tastes.
