Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 dates soaked
  • 2 cups oats
  • 2 cups pecans chopped
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp cloves
  • ⅛ tsp ginger
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled

Method
 

  1. Prep the dates - Soak dates in warm water for 10–15 minutes, then drain and pulse in food processor. If you don't have a food processor, chop finely.
  2. Prepare the pecans - In food processor, lightly pulse pecans with your dates. Again, if you don't have a food processor, you can roughly chop pecans.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients - In large mixing bowl, combine oats, pecans, dates, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, and spices.
  4. Add in wet ingredients - Stir in pumpkin puree, maple syrup, almond butter, and melted coconut oil.
  5. Bake until golden - Spread granola mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 325°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even toasting.
  6. Cool & enjoy - Let granola cool completely—it will crisp up as it cools. Store in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.
