My friend sarah came in for a super quick visit last week. And she introduced me to pumpkin granola. The minute I smelled the stuff I knew I needed to create my own!!
I bought a huge can of pumpkin puree that was on sale and some pumpkin spice.
After looking up recipes on Pinterest I kind of combined all of them into one to cater to what I had.
These are the ingredients i used
3 cups rolled oats
3/4 cups quinoa
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 rounded teaspoon of pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp of Salt
1taespoon ground flaxseed
1tsp cinnamon
1/3 Cup melted coconut oil
1/2cup pumpkin puree
1tsp vanilla
1/4cup honey
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
The first thing i did was heat the oven to 325 degrees and melted my coconut oil. I greased two cookie sheets with coconut oil while the oil melted.
Then in a large bowl i mixed the dry ingredients. And in a smaller bowl the wet ingredients, i made sure everything was really well mixed.
Finally i added the wet ingredients to the dry and mixed those thoroughly.
I spread out my mix super evenly on the two cookie sheets and baked them for 30 minutes; taking them out every ten minutes and moving the granola around.
The kitchen smelled amazing! And the granola was delicious pumpkin-y and not to sweet!
I had it for lunch today with bananas and apples!!
