Pumpkin Spice Granola is a healthy and easy recipe to make this fall. It's made with pumpkin, oats, flaxseed, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. It's crunchy, delicious, and will make the house smell amazing.
Ingredients
Pumpkin Spice Granola only requires a handful of simple ingredients that you can stock your pantry with to make all season long.
Oats: Old fashioned rolled oats are the main ingredient in this easy granola recipe. I like to bake them for a few minutes first to bring out the toasty flavor.
Ground Flaxseed: A nice healthy addition containing loads of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Maple Syrup: Pure maple syrup is the best natural sweetener to use in fall recipes!
Pumpkin Puree: Definitely need pumpkin puree for pumpkin spice granola. I used Farmer's Market Foods Organic Pumpkin.
Coconut Oil: Melted coconut oil or any neutral oil will work in this recipe.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: The perfect blend of fall warm spices. Use your favorite store bought brand, or make your own! I like this recipe by Gimme Some Oven.
Vanilla Extract: Adds an extra layer of flavor.
Salt: Just a pinch of fine sea salt to round out the flavors.
Mix-Ins: You can use whatever your preference is for nuts, seeds or dried fruit. I like to use pepitas, sliced almonds and dried cranberries.
Step-By-Step Instructions
It's so easy to make homemade granola, and the best part is - you can easily customize it to your taste!
- Toast the oats. Preheat oven to 300°. Spread the rolled oats on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, add the toasted oats, ground flaxseed, pepitas, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries. Toss to combine. Set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients and spices. In another medium bowl, add the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and pinch of a salt. Stir to combine.
- Combine. Pour the wet ingredient mixture over the dry ingredient mixture. Stir together with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
- Bake. Spread the mixture out on the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minute, or until golden. Granola will crisp up as it cools.
- Store. Cool completely on the baking sheet before storing. To store the Pumpkin Spice Granola, place in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Serving Suggestions
Granola makes a great breakfast or snack. Here are some favorite ways to enjoy it.
- Top yogurt or a smoothie bowl with a handful of pumpkin spice granola.
- Make a delicious dessert by sprinkling over ice cream, baked apples, or baked pears.
