Pumpkin Spice Granola

In honor of the first week of Fall, I’m bringing you guys this homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola! It’s sweet, crunchy & full of delicious pumpkin spice! Perfect served as a snack, with milk as a cereal, over yogurt with fruit, or even as a sweet treat to satisfy your sweet tooth! This granola is a delicious mix of oats, pecans and dried cranberries covered in a maple syrup sweetened pumpkin puree mixture and seasoned with pumpkin pie spice! It truly is the “Fall” version of granola!!

The great thing about homemade granola is that it is so easy to make and there are so many different flavor options! That’s one of the reasons why I love this variation so much is because it’s different than most granola variations you typically see.

Notes & Substitutions

This recipe is very basic, though some simple substitutions can easily be made to fit your style!

Old Fashioned Oats (aka Rolled Oats): You can substitute Quick Oats in this recipe and it should turn out just as good! The only difference is that it may have a little bit of a different consistency.

Maple Syrup: Here you can substitute any natural sticky sweetener- like honey or Agave!

Coconut Oil: Coconut Oil is always my favorite choice but really any oil will work here. You will want to make sure it’s a neutral flavored oil, like Grape Seed Oil or Avocado Oil.

Dried Cranberries: Dried fruit is a delicious complement to the pumpkin spice in this recipe! Some dried fruits that I think would be good are Dried Cherries, Dried Date pieces, and Dried Blueberries!

Pecans: Many different types of nuts and seeds that would be great substitutes in this recipe! Some of my suggestions are Walnuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Hazelnuts and Macadamia Nuts.
