I want to make some granola bars for school/work lunches and of course will not put any nuts in, but would love to add some pumpkin seeds.
Thoughts?

Pumpkin seeds are not nuts. I have not heard of that as an allergy even. I think you may want to google or call someone to be sure, but I think it's fine. Not an expert, though.

I think pumpkin seeds would be fine, but like the poster said above I am no expert either!

I'm allergic to tree nuts and pumpkin seeds would be okay for me. Are you making them for yourself or to share? I won't eat a home-made treat at work without verifying the ingredients. I was caught off guard by the home-made irish cream coffee creamer...they used almond milk in place of the booze. So, now I ask about everything.

Thanks ladies, I am making them for myself and my kids, no sharing. I thought I had read somewhere that some people recommended avoiding pumpkin seeds when there is a nut allergy present, maybe I'm wrong.

My son is allergic to a million things including peanuts and tree nuts as well as some seeds, but he can eat pumpkin seeds without any issue. I haven't ever heard anything about avoiding pumpkins seeds with nut allergies. You should be fine.

Sunflower seeds sold in packaging are often packaged on the same equipment as nuts so I have to check the packaging for that, but regular old pumpkin seeds pulled straight from a pumpkin are just fine.
