Ingredients

2.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats made into flour
1 cup puffed quinoa
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 Tbsp pumpkin spice or all spice
200 g piloncillo/panela/rapadura sugar
3 Tbsp coconut oil
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250F.
Melt panela sugar in a large pot over medium heat. You can add 1 Tbsp of water, for quicker melting but it will also melt without eventually. Don't walk away! Move around often so it doesn't burn.
Add coconut oil and pumpkin puree to melted panela and whisk.
Add all dry ingredients except the 1/4 cup shredded coconut to a large bowl.
Add panela/coco oil/pumpkin puree cream to dry ingredients and stir until very well combined and no dry bits can be seen anymore.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (important!) and spread out the granola into an even layer.
Put in the oven for 30 minutes (set a timer!), take out and stir well, then press into an even layer again, return to oven and bake for another 30 minutes (set a timer!).
Take out of the oven and leave untouched to let cool completely (this will take at the very least 1 hour). Then sprinkle 1/4 shredded coconut over it.
Enjoy with fresh fruit like apple or pear and yogurt or milk. (My favorite: warm milk).
