Granola - Attempt #1
How does a girl console herself from yet another Colt loss?? Pumpkin granola!
Because at least it tastes like a win! And fall. Which I really want Texas to realize that it is....actually.....officially fall.
I modified Brittany's recipe at Eating Bird Food to match what I had on hand. I didn't want to use coconut, so I omitted it. I didn't have coconut oil, so I used canola. I mixed maple syrup and brown rice syrup instead of honey and agave. I made up for the lack of sunflower seeds with extra of each of the pumpkin seeds and almonds. I also swapped the flax for the wheat germ. My "pumpkin pie spice" was half allspice, half ground ginger, and a few grates of fresh nutmeg since my hubby doesn't do cinnamon. Yeah, I was determined to make it work, with or without the right stuff in my cabinets!
The verdict?! So simple, so delicious! I can't wait to gobble this up on top of morning smoothies and yogurts! Really....don't ever BUY granola. This was stupidly easy. And you can do soooooo much. :)
