Ingredients
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raw pecans, chopped
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl until smooth.
Combine oats and chopped pecans in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture in a single, even layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the tray to set the clusters.
Stir in the dried cranberries and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Store in an airtight glass jar at room temperature for up to two weeks. Do not touch or stir the granola while it is cooling to ensure large clusters form. You can substitute pecans with almonds or pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for a different texture.
