Capogiro is one of my favorite places to go in Philadelphia. They are known for their gelato that they make fresh every morning. They serve your typical flavors, but also have many different unique flavors that you may have never imagined would be a flavor of gelato. We previously did a review on Capogiro, so if you’d like to hear more about our thoughts on Capogiro, just click here. I have been there a ton of times so I have tried a lot of their different flavors of gelato.
In addition to gelato, Capogiro also sells breakfast and granola is one of the few items on their menu. In a recent issue of Philadelphia Magazine, they shared local, healthy recipes and I was delighted to see that Capogiro’s Granola was one of them. I love granola and have made my own granola many times in the past. Check out the different granola recipes we have on our blog under the breakfast tab! Until I made Capogiro’s Granola, I would say that my favorite recipe so far has been Bon Appetit’s Granola. But now, after making this granola, I think it’s a pretty close call between Bon Appetit’s and Capogiro’s.
This recipe makes a TON of granola. The magazine said that it made 6 servings, but trust me it is much, much more than that.
Capogiro’s Granola

- 6 c. old-fashioned oatmeal
- 2 1⁄4 c. pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

3. Melt butter and honey together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until combined and bubbling slightly.
4. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture. Toss with a spatula until dry ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Pour mixture in an even layer onto a sheet pan lined with a Silpat (a non-stick baking mat) or parchment paper.
