Despite the fact that I hate pumpkin pie I love the flavor of pumpkin in other recipes. I picked up a couple of boxes of pumpkin puree and am enjoying exploring creative ways we can use it in our cooking. Like all Homegrown Friends Recipes our Pumpkin Granola is easy enough for a child or novice cook to make. Dump all ingredients into a bowl, stir, pop in the oven and try to let it cool before enjoying a bite!
