Save Recipe

My favorite granola recipe got Fall-ified, ya’ll!!  There is just something about this crispy, toasted, pumpkin spiced blend of oats, coconut, almonds and pepitas (pumpkin seeds) that I just can’t quit!  

Why I love this recipe

Just look at all that golden brown goodness … freshly baked in my oven, no preservatives, no crazy additives.  

I love the roasted salty flavor that the pepitas bring to balance out the sweetened coconut and maple syrup.  But don’t worry, with only 1/3 cup of maple syrup spread over the entire pan of granola, it’s definitely not overly sweet!

Ingredients

  • quick cooking oats
  • sliced almonds
  • sweetened coconut
  • roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • coconut oil
  • maple syrup
  • pumpkin pie spice

Step by step

  1. Mix the dry ingredients.
  2. Coat with coconut oil and maple syrup.
  3. Add the spices.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Allow to cool and enjoy!

Easy-peasy, right?

Variations

For this pumpkin pie version, I tweaked my original recipe for Nutty Coconut Granola a little by using coconut oil instead of olive oil and pumpkin pie spice instead of the blend of spices.  This recipe is pretty forgiving so feel free to change it up to fit your family’s taste:

  • Substitute pecans or walnuts for the almonds.
  • Try honey instead of maple syrup.
  • Use unsweetened coconut if that is what you have on hand.
  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use cinnamon or apple pie spice.

Serving suggestions

This Pumpkin Pie Granola is delicious tossed over fruit, sprinkled on yogurt or ice cream, eaten in a bowl with really cold milk or pack it up for a thoroughly tasty on-the-go snack!

Gifting suggestions

One batch of this Pumpkin Pie Granola filled two whole pint mason jars.  So that means you have just about 4 cups of this glorious granola. It makes a great gift, just add a handwritten tag with the contents (and recipe!) and a pretty ribbon.
