This pumpkin granola is made with pumpkin seeds, pumpkin spice and pumpkin puree. It’s gluten free, grain free and paleo as well.
This past weekend my brother got married, we bought a couch, finished 200+ linear feet of garden bed edging and I made pumpkin granola.
I’m not sure it gets much better than that.
Actually, if someone magically appeared to assemble said (Ikea) couch, it might.
I don’t make granola nearly enough. I really have no idea why.
It’s loads cheaper than buying it, you control the ingredients and there’s no reason for any impulsive seasonal Yankee candle purchases when you have this baking away in your oven.
I thought it might’ve been slightly excessive when I threw 4 of the big cans of pumpkin puree in my cart while grocery shopping yesterday (because I have this irrational fear it will disappear overnight), but I take that back now after making this.
I foresee many pumpkin granola breakfasts in my near future.

Yes, you can. If they're sweetened though you'll be adding to the sweetness of the recipe so keep that in mind.

Made this last night and it was AHHH-mazing! I added some flax seed and used cranberries because I didn't have any dates, then I had to stop myself from eating the entire batch this morning for breakfast with my almond milk. Delicious and I will be making this again, with dates next time!
