4 cups Pepita seed/pumpkin seeds, raw

This is a large batch and can easily be cut in half.  Over set to 325 and bake 30 min stir at 15 min.  Spread onto large cookie sheets,  Large batch at least 2 sheets maybe 3.  Cook each separately.  I do a large batch so I can be done with it and it last longer.  SO GOOD and less sugar, Yeah!   I love the added seeds.

Mix both wet and dry ingredients( may need to get you hands involved) and spread on to cookie sheet.  Bake 275 degrees for 1 hour.  stir every 20 minutes.  Let cool and the add additional ingredients if you so desire.  I actually 4x the batch I made so I could have a stock up.

So this is just one way to enjoy something yummy by also getting some fiber in with it. This will have less of a negative affect on your body. Sometimes we want something not so healthy, this is your way to have the best of both worlds. Just decide before you start that you won't eat more than two in one sitting. Enjoy!
