Smores Granola

Yum

This granola is a huge hit with my family. The graham crackers add a nice crunchy texture and the chocolate and marshmallow combo is so good! Give this vegan snack a try, it's really good.

Smores Granola


Ingredients:

5 cups rolled oats
2 cups crushed graham crackers (1 pouch of crackers)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup ground flax
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla

vegan chocolate chips - 1/4 to 1/2 cup
vegan marshmallows - 1/2 cup to 1 cup

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.

Mix the rolled oats, crushed graham crackers, salt, flax, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla in a large bowl. Put in a baking dish lined with parchment paper (you might have to cook this in two batches - you want the layer to be about an inch thick). 

Bake for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through.

When you take the granola out of the oven and it is still warm, sprinkle chocolate chips and marshmallows on top and let them melt. Once they have melted you stir the granola, but just a little so you still have chunks of chocolate and marshmallow. You want it to kind of pick up the granola and then cool back down with bits of chocolate.
