Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 cups rolled oats
1 heaping cup sliced almonds
1 heaping cup pistachios (or other nuts)
1 heaping cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup olive oil
1 cup maple syrup
2-3 teaspoons salt (see notes)
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients together (oats, almonds, pistachios, coconut). Whisk the wet ingredients and spices together (pumpkin, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon). Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Spread the granola into a large nonstick jelly roll pan or cake pan - I do this on two separate pans or in two batches. Bake for 15 minutes; stir; bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest - it should start to crisp up.
Store in a plastic zip-top bag for a week or so. Serve with granola, fruit, or just with good ol' milk.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats ((gluten-free for GF eaters))
1 1/4 cups raw pecans
1/3 cup raw pepitas
3 Tbsp sugar
¼ tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice ((I also added an extra dash cinnamon))
1/4 cup coconut or olive oil
1/3 cup maple syrup ((or sub agave or honey if not vegan))
1/3 cup pumpkin puree

Steps:

Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
Mix the oats, nuts, seeds, spices, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree and whisk. Pour over the dry ingredients and quickly mix with a wooden spoon.
Spread the mixture evenly onto two baking sheets (or bake in two batches // adjust if altering batch size) and bake for 23-33 minutes, stirring a bit near the halfway point. If you prefer chunkier granola, don't stir as it breaks up the clusters. Instead, just rotate the pans at the halfway point to ensure even cooking.
Once the granola is golden brown (usually about 25 minutes), remove from oven and let cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
Transfer to an airtight container. Should keep for a couple weeks. Enjoy with almond milk, dairy-free yogurt, or on top of oats!

Tips:

Use ripe pumpkin: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh pumpkin. You can roast your own pumpkin or use canned pumpkin puree.
Don't overcook the oats: Oats should be toasted, not overcooked. Keep an eye on them in the oven and stir frequently.
Add your favorite nuts and seeds: Feel free to add your favorite nuts and seeds to the granola. Some popular choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
Make it a parfait: Layer granola with yogurt and fruit for a delicious and healthy parfait.
