A homemade pumpkin spice granola recipe with crunchy clusters and warm fall flavors, perfect for a healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, pecans (if using), cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, pumpkin purée, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is thoroughly coated.
  5. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and feels dry to the touch. For larger clusters, avoid stirring too much.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. This is crucial for crispiness and cluster formation.
  8. Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries (if using).
  9. Break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can turn off the oven and leave the granola inside with the door slightly ajar for an additional 10-15 minutes after baking.
  • Ensure your pumpkin purée is not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
  • This granola is a great alternative to store-bought cereals and can be part of your meal planning for healthy breakfasts.
