Pumpkin Flax Seed Granola

Pumpkin Seed Flax Granola! This recipe adds a nutritional punch💥 to my classic granola recipe with the addition of pumpkin seeds and flax.

Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, one of the best sources of magnesium, and provide antioxidants, healthy fats, and protein.

The addition of flax adds a boost of fiber and anti-inflammatory omega 3’s🙌🏼

If you have been following me for a while, you know I ALWAYS make a weekly batch of granola without fail. It’s the easiest to throw together, much more affordable than store bought, and totally customizable depending on what ingredients you have on hand.
