I love having granola on hand for a quick breakfast. We make many different variations of granola in my house, and the flavors change with the seasons.

Pumpkin Granola Recipe Tips

This granola is done baking as soon as it’s set, which is about 60 minutes at 300 degrees. It hardens as it cools, so it does get a crisp texture. Make sure to let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces and transferring it to a storage container.

This pumpkin granola takes just a few minutes to prepare, and it's so delicious!

Served over yogurt, this makes a great breakfast or snack. You can also serve it with your milk of choice, or snack on it by the handful.

Feel free to substitute other nuts or grains in this recipe. If you have roasted pumpkin seeds on hand, they would make a nutritious addition to this recipe. I like to mix dried cranberries into my pumpkin granola, but you could use other dried fruits as well.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats

    Annemarie,
    I’ve finally taken the granola plunge. Meghan of Clean Eats Fast Feets gave me a bag a while ago, and it was such a revelation that I had to make my own. And it’s amazing! I look forward to trying this pumpkin version once my 2 qt ‘granola’ jar is needing a refill.
    Thanks!
