Pumpkin Granola
Ingredients
- 1 c old fashioned oats
- 1/2 c steel cut oats
- 1/2 c chopped pecans
- 1/4 c ground flax meal
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 6 Tbs pumpkin puree
- 1/4 c Dixie Crystals Dark Brown sugar lightly packed
- 1/4 c water
- 2 Tbs pure maple syrup
- 1/4 c peptitas lightly salted
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325º F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
-
In a large mixing bowl stir together the oats, pecans, flaxmeal and cinnamon.
-
In a medium sized mixing bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, water and maple syrup.
-
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until thouroughly coated. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
-
After the first 20 minutes, gently stir the granola so it will evenly bake. Check the granola in 10 minute increments until desired crispness is acheived, I prefer mine crunchy so about 40 minutes baking time total.
