Harvest Granola

Experimenting with homemade granola varieties is super fun. 

I began this experimentation with the thought of making granola but also some granola bars. 

The bars didn't come out as I'd like, but I am still eating them...their great with yogurt. 

But the granola from this batch was awesome! 

For this batch, I mixed: 

4 c. Steel Cut Oats (you can use regular oats as well)

1 c. chopped pecans

1 T. pumpkin pie spice

1/4 t. salt

1 c. unsweetened flaked coconut
3/4 c. pumpkin seeds

Then I mixed the wet ingredients in a separate bowl: 

1/2 c. pumpkin puree

1/4 c. real maple syrup

1/4 c. honey

3/4 c. coconut oil

Then I mixed the wet ingredients in with the dry. 

Next, I halved a pomegranate and removed the seeds. 

I added the pomegranates and 1 c. unsweetened raisins (you can also use Craisins)

I've also made granola where I've added the raisins after the granola is baked, which I prefer. 

But this time I just added it all in at once. 

I spread out the mixture on a non-stick baking sheet

And roasted at 300 degrees for about 45 minutes. 

I love to either eat it as cereal with milk or add it to yogurt or a fruit parfait! 

It's yummy! 

Store it in a mason jar!
