Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • up to 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt (or 1/2 teaspoon table salt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Wet Mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil and maple syrup. Microwave for 30 to 60 seconds until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is well blended. Stir in the pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, coconut flakes, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
  4. Bake the Granola: Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through if desired for even baking. The granola will be soft when first removed from the oven.
  5. Cool and Store: Allow the granola to cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes, during which time it will crisp up. Once cooled, break into clusters or pieces of your preferred size. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • You can substitute table salt for flaked sea salt; reduce to 1/2 teaspoon if using table salt due to its stronger saltiness.
  • If you prefer chunkier granola, avoid stirring too much during baking so larger clusters form.
  • This granola is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
  • Store granola in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
