Are You Looking For A Healthy Snack?

Pumpkin Granola

 

I wanted to start our week out on the right foot this morning and decided a wonderful, wholesome, and healthy snack would be a great way to do this.

 

If you are looking for a way to make your house smell good and to warm it up by using your oven as well, then you need to try this easy recipe.

 

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.  Proverbs 31:31 (KJV)

 



Ingredients (all ingredients are estimated as you can't go wrong by this recipe)

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

 

1/3 c butter (or replace with coconut oil)

1 c pumpkin

1/4 c honey

1/8 c quiona with flaxseed cereal (optional)

3 Tbsp flaxseed

2 Tbsp chai seeds

3 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp ginger

4 1/2 c oatmeal

 

If you have anything else such as nuts, coconut, dried fruit, (anything your family loves) feel free to add to this.  All measurements are based on how much of something you like. This is a totally forgiving recipe.

 

Heat all wet ingredients in sauce pan. Mix well, then begin adding all dry ingredients adding oats last.  When the oats are evenly coated, place on an ungreased cookie sheet and place in oven.  Bake for about 50 minutes.  I added more time on mine because I like my granola drier, but it is all about how your family likes granola.  Remember, this is a forgiving recipe. When cooked take out of oven and let it cool.  Store in an air tight container.
