Pumpkin Seed Granola

My mom and I found a large bag of pumpkin seeds in the refrigerator and thought, what can we do with this? My mom had been planning on making some more of her home-made granola and I had just seen a new recipe that called for pumpkin seeds- it was perfect! So we spent our Sunday afternoon making granola together. The house smelled absolutely amazing like cake and bread baking at the same time.

Ingredients:
4 C old fashioned oats
1 C pumpkin seeds, finely ground
1 C sunflower seeds, finely ground
1 C flax seeds, finely ground
1/2 C oat bran
2/3 C fresh apple juice
1/3 C honey
1 t cinnamon
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 C shredded coconut

To make:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except for the coconut shreds. Stir well and layer on a pan, no spray necessary. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Once out of the oven. let cool and add coconut shreds.

Enjoy with almond milk and fresh fruit for a fantastic breakfast...or late night snack :)
