But it really depends on your oven -- the pumpkin is wet and what you're trying to do is dry/cook it onto the oats. <br />good luck!Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-35285189905925856242014-09-12T18:27:26.694-07:002014-09-12T18:27:26.694-07:00Hi!

I am wondering about using other oil substitutes like bananas or applesauce, I bet it would work just as well. I use those in the oven granola I have made previously.

Not to mention it keeps the house cooler than running the oven too. <br /><br />I must say...it turned out wonderfully! I'm so excited to have a cheaper and easy way to make various granolas.

I made a nut-free, seed-free version yesterday and didn't change anything else. The kids actually liked it better because it was slightly sweeter. ;-)<br /><br />@Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-13649658478768283332012-08-20T13:49:56.825-07:002012-08-20T13:49:56.825-07:00Does this really have to be refrigerated?
