    Ingredients You’ll Need

    To make this homemade pumpkin granola recipe, you will need:

    • Almond butter - you can also substitute any other nut butter

    Recipe FAQ's

    How long does homemade granola last?

    This granola is best when freshly made. But if you want to store it, it keeps well in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

    How should I store my granola?

     It can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or Ziploc bag.

    Why is my homemade granola not crunchy?

    Be sure to let the granola cool completely before crumbling it into pieces to ensure as much crunch as possible.

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups pecans
    • 1 1/2 cups almonds
    • 1 cup coconut flakes unsweetened
    • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed optional
    • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
    • 1/4 cup almond butter
    • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    • Transfer the nuts to a large mixing bowl and stir in coconut flakes, flaxseed, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, nut butter, coconut oil, honey or maple, and vanilla until smooth.
    • Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir util fully moistened.
    • Spread the mixture evenly on the parchment lined baking sheet, in a single layer. Also, clumps are your friend.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 mins, the remove to stir gently and turn over. Return to the oven for another 15 mins and let brown. It won’t be crisp yet until you let it cool down.
    • Remove from oven and allow granola to cool to room temp.
    • Serve right away or store in a tight lid container for up to two weeks at room temperature.
