Orange Juice Granola

                                                     

I love granola.

              I create a new flavor almost every week! I usually don't write down what I do (very bad habit, I know!) But here is one combo I come back to often:4 c. rolled oats
1 c. coconut
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
1/2 c. earl gray tea, brewed double strength (or other strong tea of choice)
 2 T molasses
5 drops liquid stevia (If sugar doesn't concern you, feel free to use 1/4-1/3c. brown sugar, depending on the desired sweetness)
2 T date paste
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 can unsweetened orange juice concentrate, thawed (Please check to make sure there's no sugar added! I use no name brand unsweetened)
In a large bowl, mix the oats, coconut, cinnamon and nutmeg. In small bowl or measuring cup, combine the pumpkin, tea, molasses, stevia, date paste and orange juice concentrate.
Pour over the oats and stir until coated. Bake at 300F for 24 minutes, stirring at 6-minute intervals. Enjoy for breakfast or a snack!
