THE RECIPE

Yields roughly 4 CUPS

prep time: 15 minutes // cook time: 30 minutes

total time: 45 minutes

ingredients:

2 cups rolled oats ⠀
1/2 cup shredded coconut ⠀
1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) ⠀
1/2 cup dried cranberries ⠀
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice⠀
3/4 cup pumpkin purée ⠀
1/3 cup pure maple syrup ⠀
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla

method:

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C degrees and prepare a large, rimmed baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, cranberries and pumpkin pie spice.
In a second bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredient mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. ⠀
Transfer the granola to the baking tray and press the mixture down to form one even layer. ⠀
Bake for 30-35 mins, flipping once halfway (do this part carefully & try to keep big sections together in order to end up with big granola clusters.) ⠀
Let the granola cool before breaking it apart into clusters! ⠀

recipe notes:

Store in an air-tight container! Granola can be stored for weeks or even months in a proper container but even then, it can still go stale. I would recommend consuming within 2-4 weeks of baking!
Enjoy over smoothies & smoothie bowls, yogurt, as cereal with some oat milk or as a snack on its own!
