    This easy Pumpkin Granola recipe is perfect to add to your yogurt parfait, have as a healthy snack or as a great cereal with fruit.

    Hello Fall weather! When I start waking up to temps in the 50’s, it’s official in my brain. So let the pumpkin baking and everything pumpkin spice begin!

    Since I haven’t made any of my favorite homemade granola in a while, I thought why not just dive into this season with this simple Pumpkin Granola. It’s spiced with the perfect amount of cinnamon, fall spices, maple syrup, pecans and raisins.

    You can easily change up the additions as well each time you make it by substituting with different kinds of nuts or adding in chia seeds or flax seeds as well.

    Granola makes a wonderful addition to your yogurt parfait, as a cereal topped with your favorite fresh fruits or even just right out of the container as a healthy snack.

    How to Make this Pumpkin Granola Recipe

    If you have never made your own granola, it is so simple.  Instead of spending $5 or more for a small bag, this is another easy way to save a little more in your grocery budget.

    Step 1: Mix the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger together in a medium sized bowl.  

    Step 2: Then mixing the wet ingredients together in a separate small bowl the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

    Step 3: Then pour the liquid mixture over the oats mixture and stir to coat evenly and then spread the mixture out on a baking sheet.

    Step 4: Bake for 30 minutes and stir it every 10-15 minutes so that all areas get good and roasted.

    I like to add the nuts after the first 30 minutes to avoid them burning and then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until it’s dry.  Again, stir half way through.

    Step 5: Cool the granola completely and then stir in the raisins.

    Store in an airtight container.

    Tips

    Substitute the pecans for any nut of choice. Almond slices, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and pistachios are all great options too.

    If using pecans or walnuts, add them into the granola after toward the end of baking to avoid burning (for about the last 20 minutes)

    Use honey in place of maple syrup if desired.

    Cooking times may vary based on oven.
