Are you getting sick of my travel photos year? Then I have a special treat for you – a recipe post! Now that all of your Thanksgiving leftovers are gone, I hope you are ready for a new twist on pumpkin pie. I want to share with you a pumpkin pie granola recipe that was featured as a guest blog post on one of my favorite blogs, Click Clack Clunk.
Now that I’m finishing my last year of medical school and going through the residency application process, I had to gather letters of recommendation from the doctors I have work with. To say thank you to them for taking time out of their busy days, I whipped up this batch of delicious pumpkin pie granola. It is easy and healthy and as a bonus, it is also gluten-free (as long as you use gluten-free oats).
I would also like to share with you the label I made for the treat bags I gave the granola out in.
Just print them out on full sheet label paper (I got mine for $.25/sheet at Kinkos) and cut them out. Tie on a little ribbon and you have an easy gift! Click here to download the labels!
