Homemade Fruit-Sweetened Granola
Despite its "health-halo," store-bought granola is often loaded with fat and added sugars. This super simple recipe gets its sweetness from applesauce and has no added fat. Perfect for topping yogurt, coating baked chicken, or adding a crumb topping to a fruit-based dessert. Make a big batch for meal prepping and store in a sealed jar for up to one week.
