Pumpkin spice granola is a simple, easy-to-make granola recipe with the tastes of the season. Made with pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and old-fashioned oats, this pumpkin granola recipe is perfect to use on top of yogurt or cereal, or as the perfect topping for my pumpkin chia pudding!
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Measure and place the oats in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.
Use a small saucepan. Heat the coconut oil, plant milk, and sugar on medium-low heat. Stir constantly and heat just until the sugar melts. Do not boil.
Remove the heated mixture from the heat and mix in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir together until the oats are evenly coated.
Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for one hour and fifteen minutes, stirring and flipping around every 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.
Notes
Refined coconut oil will give you less of a coconut flavor. Virgin coconut oil will taste more coconutty. Your choice. I find both delicious, but do prefer the coconut taste from the virgin coconut oil.Use any plant milk of your choice. I use either almond milk or oat milk.
