Pumpkin Spice Granola
A delicious Pumpkin Granola that combines real pumpkin with cinnamon, coconut, almonds, maple syrup, and shredded coconut. Both salty and sweet, this granola is perfect over yogurt!
Ingredients
Granola:
- 6 C rolled oats
- 1 C pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix
- 1 C olive oil
- 1 C maple syrup
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 C sliced almonds
- 1 C walnut pieces or other nuts
Optional:
- 1/2 C sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients and set aside. Combine the wet ingredients until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and toss well to coat. Spread evenly between two baking sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes - stirring frequently. Rotate each pan and bake another 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Keep a careful eye on the nuts as they can tend to brown easier.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Granola will crisp up as it cools down.
- If adding in coconut, stir in after granola has cooled.
- Store in a ziploc at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy with yogurt, or served with milk or your favorite dairy alternative.
