Pumpkin spice granola in bowl with yogurt

Right now, my kitchen is all about honey-scented beeswax candles, creamy soups, and this homemade pumpkin spice granola.

Crunchy, sweet and infused with the flavors of fall – ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and allspice – it’s a definite favorite with my kids.

I love that it takes just about 30 minutes to bake, which is so much faster than dehydrator versions. Plus, my house smells amazing when I pull a batch from the oven.

Equipment

baking sheet
chopping knife
food processor
mixing bowl
mixing spoon
small bowl
whisk
airtight storage container

Ingredients

1¼ cup pecans
1¼ cups almonds
½ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats (I like this brand that is sprouted so that the oats are more easily digested)
¼ cup chopped dates (or raisins)
¼ cup pumpkin puree (how to make pumpkin puree)
⅓ cup maple syrup
2 tbs almond butter
2 tbs melted coconut oil
¼ tsp vanilla extract (how to make vanilla extract)
4 tsp homemade pumpkin pie spice
1 egg white

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the almonds, then place them in the food processor with the pecans and pulse until the pieces are the size you prefer. I like chunky, largish pieces, but smaller pieces will work too.
Add the pumpkin seeds and pulse a few more times, then place the nuts/seeds in a large bowl with old-fashioned oats and chopped dates/raisins.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract and pumpkin spice and mix together.
Add wet ingredients (pumpkin mixture) to the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until foamy and then pour it over the granola. Stir until everything is well-combined.
Spread the granola in an even layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, then stir and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Start checking at the 10 minute mark. If they look like they might start to burn pull them out, otherwise let them bake the full 15 minutes.
Remove granola from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before eating or transferring to an airtight container.

Notes

Feel free to vary the mix-ins based on personal preference.
