What can i use insteed of eggs?
@@milleriller7940 banana usually?
@@milleriller7940 ... flax seed and water (this is a flaxseed egg). Look online for "vegan egg substitute".
you seem like a good genuine guy subbed and liked!
but what are the macros?
All the dislikes are from Granola companies. This and all his recipies are top notch and so healthy. Thank you sir!
Yes
Yeasssssssssssirrr
There's no such thing as healthy granola.
@@RinkyDink-7there is no such thing as "health". from the day you were formed, your fleshy limbs and fragile core were condemned to die. every day you spend alive is constant and relentless withering, until the line between you and the dirt under you is so blurred you seize to exist.
@@RinkyDink-7
Yes there is! WATCH THE VIDEO. 🙄
This has become my favorite granola recipe after making a few adjustments. I typically make half of this recipe at a time. For the dry ingredients: 2 cups of oats, a quarter cup of ground flax seed, a quarter cup of pumpkin seeds, and a pinch of salt. For the wet ingredients I use a quarter cup of zero sugar maple syrup, two tablespoons of applesauce, and two tablespoons of peanut butter as I can't get the crunch I want without a little bit of fat. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and spread it in a thin layer on the baking sheet so it gets as crispy as possible. After the bake I like to mix in a quarter cup of dried cranberries because they get too hard when I bake them with the rest of the ingredients.
The whole recipe comes out to 1300 calories (no added sugar! 52 grams of protein!) and I get 4 servings out of it. I love the recipe but I crave granola for the crunch and without the PB it comes out pretty chewy. Fortunately the PB works just as well as coconut oil and it adds a little protein. I love it in a bowl with some protein powder and milk! Thanks for the blueprint!
Good idea about the peanut butter - I'll try it with almond butter - I like crunchy too.
For that crunch, buckwheat and coconut are good options.
52 grams of protein, dang D:
thank you so much for sharing macronutrients for the recipe, this is certainly cheaper and healthier than the protein cereals I can find at my local supermarkets. thanks again friend!
Thanks for that. Nutritious information
That’s a great tip about not baking the dried fruit and instead mixing it in afterwards. I love that attention to detail
I replaced the egg white for 3 Tbsp of hot water mixed with 1 Tbsp of ground flaxseed. It was very good. Thank you.
Thanks for the vegan tip
I made this last weekend and I love it. It's a new part of my breakfast routine. Thanks for inspiring me to make it with your video.
Hi there Lauren! That's great! So glad this granola will be on your regular breafkast menu, and that's what makes me feel inspired, so thank you!
When they want $5 or $6(US) for a tiny bag, it was time to find a quick recipe. (subscribed!)
Exactly, making a homemade granola is a double win. Thanks for joining!
You sir get an A+ for not only adding Flax, but knowing that you should grind it!
Half of the views are mine since I keep making it for my family but they just eat all of it !😂
That's great! So glad the whole family enjoy it!
:)
Same! This will be my fifth time making it.
:)
Awesome! Recently, there was a recall on a granola I typically buy at the wholesale club. So many varieties at the grocery store have tons of sugar (added sugar as well) and expensive. So glad I stumbled upon this video, and so excited to try it. Thanks so much.
Mmmm jammie.....I will try it tomorrow!!! It seems easy to make, I like that!! Thanks for sharing and making the video! Keep going, mate🙂👍❤!!!
Thanks for supporting Sara! Hope you'll love the granola!
Your explanation is so clear!
You are the best!
God bless you 🙏
Thank you!!!!
Thanks a lot!
This is really, easy and healthy granola! As i love chocolate flavour, I ended up trying true elements dark chocolate granola which is healthy and tasty and chocolately! Thanks for sharing this.
Vegan I used apple sauce no oil sugar free syrup and whipped agua faba for the egg white fablous results Ths So Much
This is so much more meaningful than many other cooking videos.
Thanks so much Rachel, I appreciate your support!
Great granola recipe. I love making gorp (gorp is a mix of nuts, coconut, lots of dried fruits with good granola. I take it on week long hiking trips in the high rockies
Thanks Sheila! Yeah, it's definitely a type of food that can move me through the day, so much good stuff inside. Love the gorp idea and eating these while on the hiking.
Thank you! This recipe is really underrated considering how cheap it is to make, especially if you're able to buy oats, nuts, and seeds in bulk. I made it last night and I'm enjoying it with my coffee as I write this. One small tip: you might need to experiment a bit with the baking method depending on your ingredients & setup. Mine didn't come out as crunchy as I would like (flavor is still great!), so I'll try spreading it into a larger baking pan next time. I don't mind if it's a bit crumbly as I'll mostly be eating it in a bowl with Greek yogurt.
Did you make this with the apple sauce? I’m trying to decide if I want to chance it.
@@ThaBaddestHU12 Yep, I did. The only change I made to the recipe is using extra pumpkin seeds (since I didn't have sunflower seeds)
Ypu have to use a fat in order to get that crunchy taste you crave. Try using all.natural peanut or almond butter. The fat from it will crisp up when you cook it in the oven.
I tried this recipe yesterday
it looks good and easy to make
thank you so much
I made this last week. My husband I love it! I was looking for granola recipe for not so sweet and this one was perfect for us. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Thanks so much! Great, perfect moment to start making your own granola! Enjoy your day!

New subscribers! Thanks for a awesome recipe!🙌🏽🙌🏻
This looks fabulous and easy to make! Great explanations too.
Many thanks Sasha!! I am surely going to make this!
Hi Vidya! It's my pleasure! Hope you'll enjoy the granola!
The use of applesauce is genius! I also like to buy Yogi Granola, which is quite yummy, but when I have time, I make granola at home. I will try this recipe. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback!
I can't tell how much I love your channel. Thank you!!!
I am making this right now and am so excited thanks for the awesome video!
Thankyou very much.
I’m fascinated, the fact that you can use apple sauce! I’m going to try that.
Fabulous!
Amazing recipe!
Thanks Gibran!
Your channel is a gold mine 👍
Omgg I've been wanting to make granola for 3 days now!
Glad about the timing!
Delicious! I make often. Thank you for this recipe.
I am so looking forward to making this 😍
ME TOO!!
Works well in air fryer on dehydrated
the best recipe and explanation i've seen. Will try to make it.
Thank you so much the granola test delicious and I add coconut , I love to eat healthy and your recipe is amazing
I made this, it tastes really nice, thank you. I added cardomom with the cinnamon powder. The only problem i had was, my granola was not cruchy and didnt stay in clusters. I followed the recipe. Any suggestions on how to get it crunchy next time?
I tried many recipes. Will try this one as well. Thanks for the recipe
Amazing! Just what I needed; all in one video. Great work
I love your recipes !! We had your banana pancakes this morning !
We love them !
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
You sir get an A+ for not only adding Flax, but knowing that you should grind it!
Yess! Thanks a lot Mr.Flax, so glad I did it the right way!
@@HowToCookSmarter please,, use my professional title, Dr. Flax, thank you. 😅
@@DadsDishes Ok, Dr. Flax and Mr. Oat then:)
@@HowToCookSmarter since I am "dad" I will also accept "father flax". And please, don't diminish your title in any way. All hail the king of oats!!!
I love this recipe I keep coming back to it
Love the H.D. video quality you have here Sasha, definitely worth making Granola at home, healthier and more economical than store bought.Thanks for sharing, 👍and wishing ya a Sunday Funday! 🤠
Thanks a Million 🥰
Thank you for this recipe 😊
I will also replace 1 cup of oats with coconut flakes. I love coconut.
Looks amazing!!! Have you ever tried using aquafaba in place of egg white? Maybe I’ll give that a try - thanks for another great easy recipe!!
Thanks Sonja! Not really, but I would love to try that out too.
hi sonja, i'm not sure that would work since the egg white is acting as a binding agent here, while aquafaba is typically used to add rise to cakes and baked goods. you can just omit it or replace half the applesauce with peanut butter/ nut butter of your choice :)
Whipped aquafaba works great as well! I used to make granola without oil and it would help with clumping it together and crisping it up :)
Unfortunately, it seems that the saponins in aquafaba may not be good for the health, so I wouldn't take the chance.
svaka cast majstore, vrlo dobar recept
Thanks sir I like your high protein recipes videos
Thanks for your feedback!
I love healthy food. Cant wait to try making this with my daughter. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh wow excellent!
Thanks a lot Stella!
sashaa! we love you
Thanks so much! Sending back love!
Thank you 💖💖💖
Hi there! This looks delicious. Is there anything I can replace the egg white with? Thank you. 😊
Thanks Jasmine! Yes, you can use some flax egg, or add a little bit more of applesauce.
Oh I’m so glad someone asked this because I was wondering the same! 😊
@@bhaveerathod2373 Me as well. ;-)
You read my mind. I can not beat the smell of egg. Good point
what a useless killing of male chicks for this recipe 😅
Thank you so much for also putting the ingredients in grams. A small detail which is very appreciated. Greetings from Germany :)
Hi there! It's my pleasure to be of help. Sending hugs to Germany!
In all my baking ( breads etc) that call for oil, I sub applesauce. It’s amazing. Saves so many calories.
awesome recipe...if only hand beating one eggwhite until frothy wasn't the slowest process ever, I'll give it a try though!
Thanks Kimberly! You don't have to beat the egg white too much, just to be slightly foamy no more than that.
I am making this and replacing my morning oatmeal a couple days a week. Thank you for this easy and yummy recipe.❤❤
Hi there Michelle! I'm totally hooked to this breakfast routine, hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
@@HowToCookSmarter would putting a few chunks of dark chocolate mess it up though? Even to add to a small batch when you feel the need for something sweet it is better than full out eating candy bars...
@@MsBebegurl0212 Definitely a good idea, can't go wrong with some dark chocolate in your granola. And yes, it's even great for snacking on the go, so much better than any candy bar... I can't enjoy candy bars anymore, these are too sweet for taste.
@@HowToCookSmarter I just recently cut out sodas 100%. I couldn't go cold turkey on everything at once. I actually took a sip of a soda today and yup. Too sweet. I didn't miss it all...ty for replying!!
@@MsBebegurl0212 Exactly, our taste gets better in a matter of weeks, and I actually find that exciting, you know the moment when you start craving something healthy, or when you enjoy drinking just water more than any other flavored or sweetened drink. Glad you're going through this change!
Looks great, thanks!
Thanks a lot!
Next time I will try this!
Thank youuu
That would be great! Hope you'll enjoy this granola!
Looks great!!!
Very delicious!
Dr Greger used a mashed sweet potato instead of oil. Just an idea. 😊❤
Totally agree about store bought granolas! Love this recipe, especially its flexibility. Looking forward to trying it 👩🍳
Amazing recipe. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks a lot!
Nice! Had been waiting for your version of granola. Looks tasty!!
Do you do your own apple sauce?
Thanks Vincent! I make my own and buy some organic unsweetened too.
@@HowToCookSmarter would love to see your recipe :)
@@vincentamsoms9104 There will be on the channel, but you can already see under the Gluten free pancake recipe.
@@HowToCookSmarter fab thanks
Trying this tomorrow.
Love granola.
I made this - it comes out exactly as it looks - not too stickiy together like a bar, but in pieces. The taste is fantastic - I eat it with vanilla yogurt - but any flavor will do. This is now my favorite recipe. I also added some pecans. It's so handy to take to work for a quick snack. Making it again today. So happy to find a recipe without sugar, used the applesauce and maple syrup.
Maple syrup and apple sauce are sugar.
@@Appaddict01 Why don't you propose an alternative?
@@Appaddict01 Apple sauce is rich in fiber and has a low glycemic index of 35, which is NOT associated with obesity or inflammatory disease.
@@bellenesatan Thank you. I've switched to honey and olive oil, which makes it nice and crispy.
I will be making this.yummy
Thank you😇
Hope you'll enjoy it!
Supper healthy thank you
Thanks!
One question- can i use butter instead of apple sauce? If yes how much?
I want to try this soon.
I love the way you listed on one screen (so I can screenshot it) all of the different options for each category.
VERY helpful.
That looks sooo tasty, and added to that . . . healthy, what's not to love! Thank you sooo much! I'm going to check out the granola bars! TFS, stay safe and keep healthy. Have a good week! 👍😙❤
Hi there Hazel! Thanks for checking in, so glad you like the recipe! Take care! Enjoy your week!
so, instead of applesauce and marple syrop we can use honey?
if yes, we put as much as applesauce?
amazing video, thank u so much!
the ingredients are in the caption
Apple sauce is an alternative for butter or any fats like coconut oil, avocado oil and you can use honey, agave, molasses or date nectar for maple syrup
@@momo_gurung3777 thank u!!
Yes, you could go with honey only, I think 1/2 cup honey in that case, if it not sticks really well just add some water.
@@HowToCookSmarter oh, thank u!
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely delicious! 😋 Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
I need it for breakfast💚
This recipes addresses all the problems I run into with making granola, thank you! How would you suggest incorporating canned pumpkin for a pumpkin granola variation that is still crispy like in the video?
Try it with kefir!!Trust me,it's amazing!I use strawberry flavored kefir and i love it
Love kefir so much!
OMG 😲 I've already made this twice since video was put out lol so good
Next time I think im going to use dried strawberries or mango instead of cranberries
😋 yummy
Wow, that's great! Exactly, you can make so many great variations with this basic recipe. Thanks for sending over your feedback!
May I know what i can substitute the egg white with ? I'm vegan ..
Gelatin water
@@yourdoom9868 doesn't gelatin come from animals??
@Lorrie Battung I was wondering the same, maybe a flaxseed egg
I think he said you could use peanut butter, but chose an egg white to keep the calorie / fat count lower.
There is vegan Gelatin @sprouts and Wegmans sales them if you don't have those near you look online
Even those organic and gluten free products nowadays had loads of sugars and other addictive ingredients!
So happy to find your website and making all these healthy recipes xD 😍☺️
Thanks Mylene, I appreciate your feedback!
Is the baked egg white in this recipe really going to last 2 weeks outside of the fridge? Is it really safe? I'm a bit sceptical.
It's cooked, doesn't that have an affect?
It's fully cooked so I think it's fine. You leave chocolate chip cookies on your counter don't you?
You can even buy baked meringue in a store, which is literally just egg whites and sugar. So it shouldn't be a problem.
Can you tell me what size is your baking dish, please???? Thank you in advance
Hi! It's 13x9 inch baking pan (or 33x23cm).
I don't have maple syrup so I will use honey. I don't have applesauce so what should I use instead of that and how much quantity?
oil
@@mrsaye499 same quantity?
I would go with little bit less oil, 1/3 cup, or even 1/4 cup, but you'll see how good it sticks together.
Ate them up!
My mans is so underrated
Hi Ava! Thanks for supporting!
For me the applesauce added too much moisture and made the granola rubbery no matter how long I cooked it. I added 1/4c EVOO and 1/4c Canola to the granola the second time around instead of AS. May not be as healthy but at least edible. I also added 1 tsp vanilla and 1/4c brown sugar, Saigon cinnamon adds a nice depth. Pecans, walnuts and almonds are my pref. Use a pan so that the granola is an even 1/2" on parchment. Cook for 25 min @ 325F actual oven temp not dial, rotate pan and cook for another 25 min. or so until getting lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool until it can be broken in nice chunks, then place back in oven for another 20 min until dark golden for additional all around toasty crunchy goodness. Let cool completely. Wow! Always fun to make it your own.
Your 3 ingredient pancakes have changed my breakfast forever.. and now this!! 😍😍
Me too girl . So quick and versatile .
Hi Elina! So glad you enjoy my breakfast recipes! Same thing here, can't get enough of these pancakes. Wait, that's exactly what I'm going to do first thing in the morning.
AMAZING
Thanks!
Koliko vremena provedeš tako eksperimentišući? Da li ti se dogodi da dobiješ super ideju, ali kad je sprovedeš u delo, ne ispadne baš onako kako si očekivao?
excellent video!!
Thanks!
Can I make this without any sweetener and add more apple sauce instead of the sweetener?
Definitely making this! Really glad it's got salt in it since my blood pressure is really low in the morning and a bit of it helps alot!
Even if there wasn't any salt in it you could just...you know...add salt.
@Itsnemosoul to tell you the truth I would never consider adding anything extra to a recipe in case I ruined it 😅(really not good with improvizations...🙃). Lately, I'm adding salt to my coffee!
@@RoyalDreamFit But the fun in cooking is all about creativity and adjusting things to your liking :)
@@itsnemosoul8398 TRUE but I'm really bad at it . . . I always add later what's missing! 😅
@@RoyalDreamFit I have faith in you. Go for it! :) And if it turns out bad, change it again next time
Could you use hemp seeds or chia seeds instead of the flax meal? And/or oat fiber?
I've been making my own granola for around 2 years now. I love this recipe. You have beautiful hands. Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback!
It looks like an ideal snack to take with, when out cycling or hiking. Thank you.
One small question about the oven: Fan assisted 160° or not?
Hi Mike! You're so right, this is the perfect snack on the go. It was baked with no fan.
I am so impressed with you and your channel! big fan from Santa Barbara Calif
Hi there! Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! Sending hugs to California!
