Harvest Granola – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

There is nothing like a homemade batch of Granola.  The smell of oats and nuts mixed with brown sugar and maple syrup cooking in your oven not only tantalizes the taste buds, but makes your whole house feel like fall.  My granola it is loaded with raw pumpkin seeds, pecans and almonds – definitely packed-full of nuttiness.  Oats, brown sugar and maple syrup give this harvest mix a hint of sweetness that is crunchy, chewy and better than any grocery store granola you can find.

I prefer to enjoy it sprinkled over Greek yogurt, or with a splash of milk for breakfast, but, it’s pretty tasty as a mid-afternoon snack as well. It also makes a great treat to pack for day trips, or kids sporting events.
