I have increased my granola intake since I have been pregnant and breastfeeding. I have read and agree that oats or granola help keep your breast milk production. Plus, its a tasty treat! Here is a fall recipe for granola. Making this tomorrow and I can't wait to try it!
Pumpkin Granola:5 cups rolled oats
1 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
3/4 t. salt
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
1/4 c. almond oil
1/4 c. maple syrup
1 t. vanilla extract
3/4 c. dried cranberries
1/2 pepitas (I skip this)
Preheat oven to 325.
In a large bowl, combine oats, spices, and salt. Mix well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, pumpkin puree, almond oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk unitl smooth. Pour wet ingredients into oat mixture and stir until the oats are evenly coated. They will be moist. Evenly spead the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes. Stir. Bake for additional 15-20 minutes or until the granola is golden and crisp (I have to bake for about 50 minutes total). Remove from oven and stir in dried cranberries and pepitas. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
