Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups oats; 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds (shelled); 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (shelled); 1 cup nuts (slivered almonds, walnuts, filberts etc); 3 tablespoons pumpkin butter (or natural peanut butter); 1 teaspoon sea salt; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1/2 cup ground flax seeds (or bran or wheat germ); 1/4 cup honey; 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 2 cups dried fruit (I use rasins and chopped apricots)

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup raw sesame seeds (shelled)
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (shelled)
1 cup nuts (slivered almonds, walnuts, filberts etc)
3 tablespoons pumpkin butter (or natural peanut butter)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup ground flax seeds (or bran or wheat germ)
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups dried fruit (I use rasins and chopped apricots)

1
Put all ingredients except the dried fruit in the breadmaker. Set to jam cycle and run. This will produce well-toasted but not burnt granola. If you like it a little less toasted, simply take it out before the time is up.
2
Add dried fruit after the cycle is finished.

Tips:.
4
Use a few tablespoons of orange juice concentrate instead of applesauce for an orangy flavor. This is would taste good with Craisins sweetened dried cranberries at the end.
5
If you like crispy, lumpy granola then add 1/2 cup of flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking soda and a quarter cup of fruit juice concentrate.
6
If you want to use this as more of a trail mix than a yogurt topping it might be better to omit the ground flax.
7
I use a pair of scissors to cut up the apricots, but I'm sure a knife and chopping board would work just as well.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
