Flax and Walnut Granola

This is a recipe I tore out of a magazine article about Omega-3 Fatty Acids and their role in reducing inflammation and boosting one's mood.

I just made it and put it in the oven and it's so delicious raw I could have eaten a bowl of it without cooking:

Preheat oven to 325.  Line a 15/10 baking pan (I didn't measure, just used a cookie sheet) with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 T. olive oil,
1 t. vanilla, 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/4 t. salt, and 1/4 t. nutmeg.

Stir in 3 cups of rolled oats, 1 1/2 cups of chopped walnuts, 3 T. ground flaxseeds, and 2 T chia seeds.

Spread mixture in prepared pan.  Bake 45-50 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes.

YUM!
