Healthy Pumpkin Spice Granola

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Prepare a large sheet pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Mix the oats, pepitas, and almonds in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, spices, and oil until smooth. Add to the oat mix and stir until coated.

Step 3

Spread the mixture onto the sheet pan in a single layer. Use a second pan or work in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Sprinkle with the salt.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven 30-35 minutes, checking and stirring the granola after 20 minutes to make sure it doesn’t burn. When done, the granola will be fragrant with a golden brown, toasted color.

Step 5

Let cool completely on the pan. Store the pumpkin spice granola in a sealed jar for 2-3 weeks in a dark, cool place like the pantry.
