Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 300°F (150°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a big bowl, combine the rolled oats, spelt flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, canola oil, applesauce, maple syrup, dried apricots, pecans, and ground flax seed. Give everything a good mix until it’s all well coated. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Then, take it out and give it a good stir to break up any clumps. Return it to the oven for another 15 minutes or so, until it feels nice and dry. Let the granola cool completely before digging in or storing.
