- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice adding a warm and aromatic blend of spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, infusing your granola with the cozy flavors of pumpkin pie and creating a delightful and fragrant taste experience.
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree infusing your granola with a rich and velvety pumpkin flavor, adding a natural sweetness and a hint of warmth that evokes the cozy flavors of fall.
- 1/2 cup canola oil providing a neutral and light-bodied oil that helps to bind the ingredients together, ensuring a crispy and evenly coated texture, while allowing the other flavors to shine.
- 1 cup chopped pecans bringing a rich and buttery flavor to your granola, providing a satisfying crunch and a delightful nuttiness that adds depth and complexity to each bite.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt acting as a balancing element in your recipe, enhancing the flavors and ensuring a well-rounded taste profile, creating a harmonious balance between the sweetness and the other ingredients.
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup serving as a natural sweetener for your granola, imparting a distinctively rich and caramel-like sweetness that enhances the overall taste profile and creates a delightful sweetness throughout.
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes adding a tropical and slightly sweet element to your granola, contributing a delightful crunch and a subtle hint of natural sweetness that complements the other ingredients.
- 4 cups old-fashioned oats providing a hearty and nutritious base for your recipe, offering a satisfying texture and nutty flavor that forms the backbone of your delicious creation.
- 1/2 cup pepitas hulled pumpkin seeds, offering a delicate and slightly nutty taste to your recipe, adding a pleasant crunch and a nutritious boost of protein and healthy fats, enhancing the overall texture and nutritional value.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract offering a sweet and floral note to your granola, enhancing the overall aroma and adding a touch of indulgent sweetness that complements the other flavors.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together oats, coconut flakes, pecans, pumpkin pie spice, pepitas, and salt until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- In a separate small bowl whisk together maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract. Pour this liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread granola onto a prepared baking sheet, making sure to press it down slightly so that it sticks together when cooking.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. Once the granola has reached a golden brown color, remove it from the oven and let cool before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to mix together the ingredients well so that everything is evenly coated and there are no lumps.
- You can substitute or replace any ingredient for something else if you prefer. For example, if you don't have pepitas, you could try using sunflower seeds instead.
- You should check on the granola every 10 minutes or so to ensure that it is not burning and there are no lumps.
- To store your leftovers, just place them in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry place.
