Sticky Pumpkin Seed Granola image

Made without grains, this pumpkin seed granola is sticky, almost like a toffee. If you choose to include oats, it makes a more traditional style. Either way, the spices are spot-on for a pumpkin spiced, autumnal treat that's perfect for breakfast with milk or as an afternoon snack. Store in a sealed, covered container up to 1 month.

This granola is not bad, but it's not my favorite. I prefer a granola with more nuts and seeds.

This granola is a bit too dry for my taste. I would add a little bit more oil or butter next time.

This granola is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup next time.
