Pecan Pumpkin Granola

Store bought granola is full of sugar!!! I mean, have you checked out how much is in a serving? And let's be real, not many eat just a suggested serving of granola. Homemade is super easy and much lower in sugar! Get creative and add your favorite healthy ingredients!

3 cups gluten free oats
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup pure pumpkin purée
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger
1/4 cup local honey
1/2 cup coconut oil 
Himalayan salt to taste 

1. Mix honey woth melted coconut oil. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
2. Mix oats with seeds and pecans. Toss with oil mix. 
3. Place oats mixture in a thin layer on a baking sheet. (I like to use a silicone liner) Bake at 325 for about 35 minutes or till slightly browned. Toss throughout cooking to make sure it cooks evenly. Allow to cool completely before storing in an air tight container. 

Enjoy!
