Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

Gather and prepare all ingredients.
Preheat oven to 300F degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the honey, brown sugar, olive oil, salt and cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Add the pumpkin seeds (pepitas) and rolled oats and stir until well coated.
Add the mixture to the prepared cookie sheets. With slightly dampened hands or that back of a large spoon, pat the mixture into a thin layer, approximately 10x12-inches.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Remove from oven and set pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Break the brittle into 30 pieces, about 2x2-inches.

If desired, replace the brown sugar with your favorite zero calorie brown sugar replacement. A little shredded coconut sprinkled in while mixing before baking would be delicious.
