Pumpkin Spice Granola
Homemade granola is easy to make and better than store bought. It’s also endlessly customizable. My Pumpkin Spice Granola has pecans, pumpkin seeds, raisins, and cranberries in it, but you can add in other ingredients as you wish. Walnuts, sunflower seeds, dried cherries, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips all make great additions! But keep in mind that any dried fruit or chocolate needs to be added at the end, after the granola has baked, or it will melt in the oven. And don’t use instant oats – only old-fashioned or rolled oats will work.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine the brown sugar, pumpkin, maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and nutmeg. Stir until they are well combined.
- Pour in the oats, pecans, and pepitas and stir until they are well coated with the syrup mixture.
- Pour the oats onto the baking sheet and spread them out to cover the entire surface.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then take them out and use a spatula to mix them up a bit to ensure they toast on all sides. Note: if you prefer your granola to have more clusters and be less loose, you can skip this step.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the oats have started to become crispy and browned. Note that they will still be soft at this point, but they will firm up as they cool outside the oven.
- Remove from the oven and spread the raisins and cranberries on top. Let cool before serving.
