Pumpkin Granola
Crunchy homemade pumpkin granola made with oats, nuts, maple syrup, and plenty of pumpkin pie spice. A fall favorite for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1½ cups pecans or walnuts roughly chopped
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds pepitas
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup dried cranberries optional, stirred in after baking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk maple syrup, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture onto the baking sheet in an even layer, pressing it down slightly if you want clusters.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- Let the granola cool completely on the pan without stirring so clusters form.
- Stir in dried cranberries or raisins if using.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
