Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw pecans
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 0.3 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw pecans, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins if desired.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a snack!
