This Easy Pumpkin Granola is tasty and crunchy, and it's great for breakfast or as a snack. You can eat it without gluten or dairy, and it tastes like fall. For a fun fall twist, use pumpkin puree instead of sugar, and add maple syrup for sweetness without added sugar. This homemade granola tastes great and is full of healthy things like oats, nuts, and seeds.
Ingredients: 3 cups rolled oats. 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds. 1 cup chopped nuts e.g., almonds, pecans. 1/2 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup pumpkin puree. 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted. 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins optional.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 325F 160C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine oats, pumpkin seeds, chopped nuts, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool completely. If desired, mix in dried cranberries or raisins. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy as a snack or serve with your favorite non-dairy milk or yogurt!
