You can also use pumpkin seeds in baking. Try adding them to homemade granola bars, muffins, or bread for added texture and flavor. Pumpkin seeds are a great addition to oatmeal cookies or as a crunchy topping for banana bread.
5. Sprinkle Pumpkin Seeds on Yogurt or Oatmeal
For an easy way to incorporate pumpkin seeds into your breakfast, sprinkle them on top of yogurt or oatmeal. They’ll add a satisfying crunch and make your breakfast more filling, thanks to their protein and healthy fat content.
How Much Pumpkin Seeds Should You Eat?
While pumpkin seeds are incredibly healthy, moderation is key. A small handful (about 1 ounce or 28 grams) of pumpkin seeds per day is enough to provide you with their many health benefits. Eating too many pumpkin seeds, like any food, can lead to excess calorie consumption and digestive discomfort.
If you’re new to eating pumpkin seeds, start with small portions and gradually increase your intake as your body gets used to them.
