Ingredients:

• 3 cups (300 grams) Old Fashioned Oats

• 30 grams Cinnamon (or Vanilla) Protein Powder

• ⅓ cup (80 grams) Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

• ⅓ tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

• ¾ tsp Pumpkin Spice Powder

• ¼ cup (50 grams) Coconut Oil

• ¼-⅓ cup (80 grams) Pure Grade A Maple Syrup

• ⅓ cup (80 grams) Pumpkin Puree

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 340 degrees.

• Combine the oats, protein powder, pumpkin seeds, salt, and pumpkin spice powder into a large bowl.

• In a small bowl, heat the coconut oil, maple syrup and pumpkin puree in the microwave, or in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, and whisk together.

• Pour mixture over the dry ingredients and quickly mix using a spatula or wooden spoon.

• Spread the mixture evenly onto two baking sheets.

• Bake for 30-35 minutes, tossing a little at the halfway point.

• Once granola is golden brown, remove and let cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.  The granola will crisp up as it cools.

• Store in an airtight container.
