Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Oatmeal
  • 1/2 tsp Coarse sea salt
  • 3 large tbsp Almond butter
  • 3 large tbsp Raw honey
  • 1/4 cup Chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the oatmeal, sea salt, almonds, and pumpkin seeds, and set aside.

  2. In a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl set over boiling water, combine the honey and the almond butter. Stir continuously until they melt together and become pourable, about three to five minutes.

  3. Pour the honey/almond butter mixture over the oatmeal mixture and stir until everything is coated and the oatmeal holds together slightly.

  4. Turn the granola out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Press the granola down firmly with a rubber spatula until it's about 1/8" thick.

  5. Bake in a 350° oven for about 18 minutes, or until the edges started to brown.

  6. Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet, then break it up into large chunks, or crumble it up more finely for cereal. Store in an airtight container and enjoy often for breakfast or as a snack.
