Directions

Crunchy, creamy, and refreshing!

Preheat oven to 300℉ (150℃). In a large bowl, add the first eleven ingredients, and mix until well combined.

Here we have all the dry ingredients together.

Add the oil, applesauce and maple syrup or honey into dry ingredients, and stir until well combined. Use you hand to mix both dry and wet ingredients together until well incorporated, and no dry ingredients can be found.

Pour the oil into the well mixed dry ingredients.

Spread mixture evenly between two baking sheets and bake, turning mixture frequently about every 15 minutes and rotating pans until the mixture is dry, golden and slightly brown, which takes about 1 hour or longer.
