Pumpkin Flax Granola Recipe
Description
The Pumpkin Flax Granola uses whole grain rolled oats combined with coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds to provide an earthy, nutty base. A wet mixture of melted coconut oil, honey, and real maple syrup binds the dry ingredients before baking. Toasting at 325˚F crisps the granola, highlighting the natural flavors of the nuts and seeds without overwhelming sweetness. Stirring halfway ensures even baking and color.
This granola works well with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own. Its natural texture is crunchy with occasional chewy bits from the syrup coating. Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, it maintains freshness for several weeks.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats Old fashioned whole grain*
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened) or shaved almonds
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds shelled
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (real maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted into liquid form (can sub with butter or oil of choice)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325˚F. In a large mixing bowl, combined 3 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup coconut flakes, 1 cup pumpkin seeds and 1/4 cup flax seeds.
- In a second bowl, stir together 1/4 cup coconut oil,** 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp salt. They will combine easier if you heat them in the microwave 15-30 seconds.
- Drizzle the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and gently toss/stir until evenly coated. Spread out onto a really large 3/4 baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 325˚F for 18-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking for even toasting. Remove from the oven and let cool completely then crumble with your hands and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Measure coconut oil first, then honey in the same cup to help honey slide out easily.
- Use unsweetened coconut flakes or shaved almonds for subtle coconut flavor.
- Allow granola to cool fully before crumbling to ensure clusters hold together.
