Pumpkin Spice Granola

I have not always loved the taste of pumpkin, but something changed this year and I cannot get enough! One of my favorite things to make myself is granola. It can be so hard to find grocery store granola without a lot of inflammatory oils, tons of added sugar, or just crazy ingredients. This granola is so simple and easy that I make a variation of it every week! You could easily add chocolate chips too, I wish I had! Also, if it is not fall or you are not a pumpkin person, this recipe can be adapted to be any flavor by swapping out spices or adding different dried fruits.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ tsp avocado oil

• 1 cup oats

• 2 tbsp seed mix: chia, flax hemp

• ½ cup roughly chopped almonds

• ½ cup roughly chopped walnuts

• Few cracks of salt

• 1 tbsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

• 3 tbsp pumpkin puree

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds

• ½ cup honey or rice malt syrup

Method:

1. Combine all of the dry ingredients and mix well

2. Add in the pumpkin puree, vanilla, and honey

3. Mix until combined

4. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
