Pumpkin granola

Updated: Jun 8, 2023


When going low carb, many people are missing their breakfast cereal... This is what most of us grew up with. I remember my early student times when I didn't know how to cook and just had cereal all day !


This pumpkin granola will not only keep your blood sugar stable, but also satisfy your cereal craving and provides a nutrient dense meal at the same time. Packed with fiber, healthy fats, potassium and minerals, it can be enjoyed in yogurt, plant-based milk, topped on chia pudding or a smoothie or as a trail mix/snack in-between :-)
