Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • ¼ cup pepitas or sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup sourdough discard unfed is fine
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract I use homemade vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped dried apples store-bought or homemade
  • ½ cup Hershey's cinnamon chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the oats, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the sourdough discard, maple syrup, butter, applesauce, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is coated.
  • If you want to boost the flavor, cover the bowl and let it rest at room temperature for 6–12 hours. If not, skip straight to baking.
  • Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and press it down into an even layer.
  • Bake at 325°F for 40–45 minutes. For loose granola, stir halfway through. For clusters, leave it undisturbed.
  • Let it cool completely before stirring in the dried apples and cinnamon chips. It will crisp up as it cools.

Recipe Notes

Hershey's Cinnamon Chips are usually available at your local grocery store in the fall months. They can also be ordered online at Hersheys.com.
