It’s fall but the weather feels more like winter here and I am finally beginning to understand the cold weather pumpkin spice obsession. This granola combines the flavors of pumpkin pie with the classic crunchiness of granola. This recipe reflects my preference for a less sweet granola but feel free to increase the amount of maple syrup if you prefer a little more sweetness. Feel free to add whatever nuts and seeds you have on hand!
Pumpkin Pie Granola (vegan, GF and oil free)
This is a fall variation on classic granola.
Ingredients
- 1/4 c pumpkin puree
- 1/4 c maple syrup
- 1/2 c almond butter
- 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 c walnuts or pecans chopped
- 1/4 c hemp seeds
- 2 c rolled oats use gluten free oats if preferred
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- Combine the pumpkin puree (I use canned, unsweetened pumpkin puree) with the maple syrup, almond butter and pumpkin spice in a large bowl. Stir well.
- Add the walnuts, hemp seeds and oats to the bowl. Stir until the oats are completetely coated.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 325. After 15 minutes, stir the granola. You will be flipping the larger pieces of granola and can break them up into your preferred cluster size. Bake an additional 10 minutes.
- The granola will still be a little soft when you take it out of the oven. Let it cool and it will crisp right up.
