Pumpkin Granola

Crunch and flavorful, this unprocessed pumpkin granola can be enjoyed as a snack on its own or with maple flavored yogurt for a healthy treat.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped raw slivered almonds
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup pepitas pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 3/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 3/4 cups mashed pumpkin pulp or 1-15 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pure Grade B maple syrup
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup dried organic coconut optional

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, spices, cranberries, coconut and salt. Mix well.
  2. Stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup and vanilla and mix until well combined. Working in batches, spread a thin layer of granola onto a lightly greased rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until granola is lightly browned and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheets if larger clumps are preferred.
  4. The granola will become more crispy as it cools. Transfer to airtight containers.
