I started making my own granola after hearing someone say, “If you want to absorb your vitamins better, eat foods that naturally contain them.” That really stuck with me. Pumpkin seeds, for example, are packed with essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron, and manganese. This granola recipe is not only delicious and satisfying but also naturally rich in vitamins B and E, making it a wholesome way to start the day.
