Pumpkin Seed Flax Granola recipe is a quick, easy, and budget-friendly homemade alternative to the store-bought stuff. I love making my granola without that heavy hand of refined sugar and using honey and maple syrup instead. Besides, for healthy fiber and fat, I add a combination of pepitas, flax seeds, and almonds. They are full of fiber and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Win-win!
This homemade granola recipe couldn’t be any easier to make! First, you combine oats, nuts, and seeds. Next, you whisk wet ingredients. And finally, everything gets mixed together and then transferred to a baking sheet to bake. About halfway through cooking, stir the granola for even toasting. For this recipe, I call for vanilla bean ghee. It is a rich, flavorful, and delicious lactose-free and healthy alternative to butter and cooking oils. It is infused with sun-dried vanilla beans and adds a sophisticated flavor to this homemade granola.
To make the Pumpkin Seed Flax Granola, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 325 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, ½ a cup shaved almonds, 1 cup pepitas, and ¼ a cup flax seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ a cup honey, ¼ a cup maple syrup, and ¼ a cup melted vanilla bean ghee.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir to fully combine, about 3 minutes.
Spread the granola out on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown, stirring once halfway through baking.
Cool completely before crumbling and storing in an airtight container for up to one month. Serve with yogurt, milk, parfait, or even ice cream!
