Why This Recipe Works

My favorite way to eat granola is with Greek yogurt. This is a delicious topping with yogurt and such a tasty snack or breakfast. My kids like to eat it straight out of the bowl. It is that good!

How to Make Pumpkin Granola

• Step 1 – Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Step 2 – Mix together the oats, maple syrup, pumpkin, oil, spice and salt with a wooden spoon.

• Step 3 – Spread mixture out on a non-stick baking surface in a thin layer. Bake for 15 minutes.

• Step 4 – Break up the oats and bake for another 10 minutes. Cool completely.

• Step 5 – Once cooled, stir in the nuts and pumpkin seeds. Store in an air tight container and enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Baking Sheet – I highly recommend using a baking mat on your cookie sheet. It will make baking almost anything so much easier. It prevents any of your food from sticking to the pan, which really helps the clean up. You can also line with parchment paper.
• Clusters – Break up big clusters after baking the oat mixture. This allows for the granola to easily be served.

Serving Suggestions

Homemade granola is great by the handful but we also love to use to top my oatmeal or a smoothie bowl. We even love to layer Fruit and Yogurt Parfait with this granola for a tasty treat.

Granola adds flavor and crunchy texture to many recipes. If you love pumpkin, then add this to your fall baking routine.
