Instructions
 

  1. Pregheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl and stir to mix.
  3. Add the maple syrup and stir again until the mixture is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the granola in a thin layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Then, carefully use a spatula to mix lightly, allowing a few larger clumps to stay together.
  6. Bake 5 more minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  8. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. When mixing the dry ingredients make sure the flaxseed is well mixed before adding the maple syrup. These two love to stick together and make it harder to mix everything evenly.
  2. Not Vegan? Use one egg, beaten instead of the flaxseed.
  3. Gluten Free? Make sure to select a certified gluten-free brand of oats.
  4. Optional Add-Ins:
    • 1/4 cup chia seeds
    • 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
    • 1-2 cups of chopped nuts
    • 1/2 cup dried fruit
