Pumpkin Seed Granola with Almonds

By Molly Madigan Pisula, the pastry chef 

I love this dish because it’s packed with protein (lots of nuts and seeds in there!), and you can make it in advance. Eat it by itself, or grab a yogurt cup and pour some granola on top. 

Ingredients

• 3 cups old-fashioned oats (9.5 oz.)
• 1 cup pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas)
• 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (3.5 oz.)
• 1 cup almonds (raw, not salted or roasted) (5.1 oz.)
• 3 T. light brown sugar, packed 
• 2 T. chia seeds (optional)
• ¾ t. ground cinnamon
• ½ t. ground ginger
• ½ t. kosher salt
• ½ cup honey (5.6 oz.)
• 2 T. vegetable oil

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Mix oats in a large bowl with the next 8 ingredients.
• Pour honey and vegetable oil into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low until the honey and oil start to bubble and come together smoothly.
• Pour honey mixture over oat mixture and stir until the liquid is incorporated.
• Spread on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until nicely browned.
• Cool sheet pan on rack, stir the granola and store in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
