Mini Pumpkin Granola Bites Food

GRANOLA BITES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed.
• Scoop into balls using a cookie scoop, spoon, or your hands and place in an airtight container, with pieces of parchment paper between stacked layers, if needed.
• Storing: Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to two weeks or freeze for several months.

PUMPKIN SEED GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix pumpkin seeds, oats, pumpkin puree, maple-flavored syrup, coconut, butter, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl until well combined. Spread mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until desired crispness is reached, 30 to 45 minutes.

PUMPKIN MAPLE PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
• Mix the oats, nuts, seeds, spices, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree and whisk. Pour over the dry ingredients and quickly mix with a wooden spoon.
• Spread the mixture evenly onto two baking sheets (or bake in two batches // adjust if altering batch size) and bake for 23-33 minutes, stirring a bit near the halfway point. If you prefer chunkier granola, don't stir as it breaks up the clusters. Instead, just rotate the pans at the halfway point to ensure even cooking.
• Once the granola is golden brown (usually about 25 minutes), remove from oven and let cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
• Transfer to an airtight container. Should keep for a couple weeks. Enjoy with almond milk, dairy-free yogurt, or on top of oats!
