Pumpkin Spice Granola
Granola spiced all up with pumpkin spice is a lovely breakfast or snack during the fall and winter months!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 Tbsp almond butter unsweetened, creamy
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree canned
- 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup puffed rice cereal
- 1/2 cup almond chopped, raw
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds raw
- 1/2 cup walnut chopped, raw
- 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice or more to taste
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1/2 cup Cranberry optional, juice sweetened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a saucepan (or microwave), heat the first four ingredients (coconut oil through pumpkin puree) just until they become easy to stir together. Stir well until creamy, then remove from heat.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for the dried cranberries (oats through sea salt) to a large mixing bowl and stir together until combined. Stir in the oil/pumpkin puree mixture until everything is well combined.
- Spread the granola mixture over two baking sheets. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until granola is golden-brown. Rotate the baking sheets half-way through baking.
- Remove from oven and allow granola to cool completely without touching it - this will result in large granola clusters!
- Store in a sealed jar, and use within 2 to 3 weeks.
- Once granola has cooled and you’re ready to break it into clusters, stir in the dried cranberries.
- Serve granola with choice of yogurt, fruit, non-dairy milk, etc.
