- Prep Time: 10 m minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup finely shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- Combine the olive oil, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and spices in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Add in the oats, nuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut, and vanilla and toss until no longer dry.
- Pour and spread the mixture evenly onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. It’s okay to leave some chunks as they make great little clusters when eating.
- Bake for 20 minutes, removing halfway through to toss, making sure not to burn the granola.
- Remove from oven and let it cool. It will crisp up as it cools.
- Store the granola in an airtight glass jar. You can also freeze it, but if your house is like mine, it won’t last long enough to freeze.
Notes
Note: You can control how crunchy or chewy your granola is. If you want it more crispy, you can decrease the oven’s heat a little and increase the baking time by 2 to 3 minutes.
