This pumpkin spice granola is really easy to whip up – it’s the perfect breakfast for fall! Serve this with your favorite non-dairy milk or yogurt, or even on top of ice cream!
I love homemade granola. I think it’s much more delicious than store bought granola, and if you have food allergies, it’s usually safer to make your own – that way you know what ingredients are in it.
This pumpkin spice granola is very easy to make, and your house will smell amazing while you’re baking it! It’s a variation on my favorite granola recipe – and the three main ingredients are the same: oats, maple syrup, and vegan buttery spread.
I just added some pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spices, and pumpkin seeds, and boom! This granola is ready for fall.
Ingredient Notes
- Pumpkin – Make sure you get the pure pumpkin puree, and not the pie filling. We don’t want the added sugar and other ingredients.
- Certified Gluten Free Oats – There are many brands of gluten free oats available. Be sure to look for the “Certified Gluten Free” label so that you know they are safe from cross contamination with wheat. We like the GF Harvest brand, because they are processed in a nut free, allergy friendly facility.
- Vegan Buttery Spread – We like Earth Balance Soy Free Vegan Buttery Spread. You can use coconut oil or regular butter in place of the vegan buttery spread if you prefer.
- Pumpkin Seeds – Pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds add flavor and crunch to this recipe, but if you can eat nuts, go ahead and add some! I love the pumpkin seeds in this granola, but nuts would also be good.
Top Tip
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean up easier!
Storage
Store granola in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for about a week.
