Oat Groat Pumpkin Spice granola
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 7
Ingredients
1 cup oat groats (these are not steel-cut oats - it's the WHOLE oat! They look similar to wheat berries.)4 cups water3 tbsp pumpkin1 1/2 tbsp applesauce1/2 tsp cinnamon1/8 tsp maple extract1/4 tsp vanilla extract1 egg white1 dropper liquid stevia (or your favorite sweetener)1 tbsp flax meal1/4 cup nuts (mixed, almonds, pecans, pepitas, etc.)
Place oat groats and water in a baking sheet, cake pan, or other pan with sides. Put in oven at 200* overnight (or start early in the morning and finish in the evening). The oats will become soft and cooked, then eventually they will harden and dry out. I stirred mine a couple of times to make sure they dried evenly. Took about 7-8 hours.
When the oats are dry, take a small, separate bowl and mix together all the remaining ingredients except flax & nuts. Pour over oats, stir to coat well, then stir in flax & nuts and mix. Put back in the oven at 250* for another hour or so, until dry and crunchy.
Let cool completely before storing in a glass jar or airtight container... or eating right away! ;-)
Serving Size: makes 7, 1/2 cup servings
