I pureed a pineapple in the blender or food processor.

Hello Annie!
I can’t wait to try this recipe; although, I’m not sure what to use for the pineapple puree? What did you use?

It’s a pretty big batch – fills a sheet pan in a nice thick layer while baking. I don’t know the exact yield though. Usually I recommend trying to mentally add up the significant ingredients (like oats, puffed rice, etc.) and that can give you a good estimate. Enjoy!

Hey Annie,
About how large of a batch does this make? I’m thinking of using as a favor for a Hawaiian themed bridal shower, but I want to make sure I have enough. Thanks!

Hi Sheryl,
Sorry the granola has turned out over-baked for you. It may depend on the size of baking sheet and therefore the thickness of the granola layer. Usually mine comes out almost chewy/still a bit wet, but I like it that way.

Just made this and it is delish! It’s actually still baking but I had to snag a small bowl with a dollop of yogurt. I used 1/2 vanilla-1/2 almond extract but next time will get the coconut because I think it will compliment the other flavors well. I also used crushed pineapple…it this what you used for the puree?? This and the pumpkin granola are great, although I think they bake for too long because my last pumpkin batch was very hard. I reduced the baking time by 10 minutes. Overall, thumbs up! I will continue to make granola with this technique of a thick liquid mixture of applesauce and other flavors. Thanks!!

Wow–delicious! I am a granola freak, and this one looks to be next on the list.

This looks fantastic! It’s been awhile since I made my own granola, but you are definitely inspiring me!

I’m not sure tropical granola would be my first pick (I have weird aversions to dried pineapple), but I am so glad you pointed out your other granola recipes! I keep thinking granola would be fun to make, and it’s perfect timing for the pumpkin spice one!
