Ingredients

“These wholesome ingredients come together to make a cozy, fall-inspired Pumpkin Spice Granola. With hearty oats, crunchy nuts and seeds, warm spices, and a touch of sweetness, it’s the perfect snack or breakfast treat. Get ready to enjoy the flavors of autumn in every bite!”

  • old-fashioned oats
  • walnuts
  • pumpkin seeds
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • cinnamon
  • salt
  • light brown sugar
  • pumpkin
  • melted coconut oil
  • maple syrup
  • dried cranberries

How to make

“Making Pumpkin Spice Granola is simple and rewarding. Just mix your oats, nuts, and spices with the pumpkin-sweetened syrup, bake until golden, and toss with cranberries for a crunchy, fall-inspired treat. Perfect for snacking or adding to yogurt and oatmeal!”

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking pan with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pumpkin, coconut oil, and syrup until thoroughly combined.
  4. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the oats and stir well, ensuring that the oat mixture is entirely covered.
  5. Spread granola evenly onto prepared baking sheet and place into oven.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes to avoid burring. However, if you like granola clusters, do not stir while cooking. This will ensure that you get those large, crunch clusters.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking pan. Toss with dried cranberries and keep covered in an airtight container.
