A HEALTHY TREAT TO START OFF THE DAY- PUMPKIN GRANOLA
Thanksgiving is almost here!
Sometimes I want to have a special, festive treat that isn't the typical pie that is loaded with sugar. And I'm never tired of anything pumpkin.
I found this recipe in a search for something special to make for my sister's birthday breakfast. Serve this to your guests on Thanksgiving morning as you gather around the table over steaming cups of your favorite tea to pause and remember all the blessings you've been given.

DAIRY FREE, GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN GRANOLA

INSTRUCTIONS
*The first time I made this recipe I failed to read that the nuts should be chopped but it just made the granola a little bit more chunky rather than fine which was delicious. And the crunchy version is amazing if you are eating it with milk as cereal.
