Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 cups raw pecans, roughly chopped (you can do half pecans, half walnuts too)
  • 1/3 cup raw pepitas/pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp of sea salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (add 1-2 Tbsp more if you want it sweeter)
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 340 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  • Add the oats, nuts, seeds, spices, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix with a spatula until well combined.
  • In a small pot over medium-low heat, add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree and whisk until melted. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until well combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly onto the baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring/flipping the granola a bit at the halfway point.
  • Once the granola is golden brown, remove from oven and let it cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools. If you want to add dried fruit, do so right when you remove the granola from the oven.
  • Let it cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Enjoy!
