Ingredients
- Dry
- 2 cups rolled oats (I used 1 cup spelt flakes, 1 cut rolled oats)
- ¾ cup puffed wheat cereal
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ground pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (I used Bobâs Red Mill black chia seeds)
- Wet
- 1/4 cup pumpkin butter
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup agave nectar
- 1/2 tbsp almond extract
- 1 Tbs coconut oil
- 1/8 cup vanilla almond milk (or another milk/liquid of our choice)
- (*Optional*) Ground Mixed nuts or Dried fruit to mix in at the end
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Cover a baking tray/sheet with cookie sheet or foil.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the wet.
- 3. Mix the wet into the dry and coat evenly.
- 4. Pour granola mixture on tray and place into oven. Bake 50 minutes on top rack, stirring every 10 minutes to make sure granola doesnât burn.
