Crunchy Pumpkin Seed Brittle: A Low-Sugar Twist on a Classic
Your typical brittle candy is made with sugar, water, and nuts—peanut brittle being one of the most popular varieties. It is well-known for its irresistible sweetness and satisfying crunch. But I have been craving something a little different lately—a treat that still has that satisfying crunch but with a twist.
This pumpkin seed brittle is healthy take on the classic, offering a flavorful, low-sugar alternative that is just as delicious. Made with the goodness of raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas), a touch of honey, and a hint of cinnamon, this brittle is a bit more unique than the traditional toffee-like versions.
I love how the olive oil adds richness and the oats lend a subtle chewiness, all balanced with a sprinkle of salt. It is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy—without all the sugar. Whether you are looking for a healthier treat or just a new candy to share, this pumpkin seed brittle will satisfy your cravings in a way you might not expect.
According to my calculations, each serving (2 pieces of brittle) has 131 calories.
