Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe

This healthy homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe is sweetly spiced, and perfect for quick breakfasts on busy mornings. And it’s vegan and gluten free!

Pumpkin Spice Granola 1

I try not to, but every time my pantry granola stash runs low I have a strange sense of urgency to hurry up and make a new batch.  

For some strange reason granola has that effect on me, lol. I guess I just love having it around!

This seasonally-flavored batch is especially wonderful. This Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe is great as pre-workout fuel, a healthy mid-morning or afternoon snack, or a festive addition to brunch for guests who arrive unexpectedly ravenous mid-morning on a Saturday.

Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe with Description

Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe

This Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe is a great way to start the day on a healthy note! It has a full cup of pumpkin as well as sunflower seeds and heart-healthy oats.

You can use brown sugar or coconut sugar as the sweetener, and coconut oil or avocado oil as the fat.

It’s aromatic with warm spices and has a hint of vanilla.

It tastes like pumpkin pie, but in granola form!

    Looking forward to trying this granola. Have a vegan friend who has a wheat/gluten allergy and will make it for her! Sounds scrumpdiliiscious! I might even try adding some dried cranberries to it, and pecans. A friend just introduced me to your granola recipe and I think I better check your site out!

    I make a lot of my own granola using two different recipes, but usually always the same base for both. Mine uses 1/4 cup brown sugar and apple juice as the sweeteners, which is what I’d probably stick with, though with pumpkin, a bit more brown sugar might be needed.

    I’ll have to try this. Thx!

    I’m a huge granola fan and start to get a bit antsy when my stash runs low as well. I love the look of this fall inspired breakfast treat! Oh, and your pictures were great even back in the day. It’s fun to see how far you’ve come. :) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

    I can understand that. Granola is such a staple that your pantry feels off-kilter if it’s missing in action on the shelves. I always have some on hand, too. It’s great for topping yogurt or just munching by the handful.

    What a great seasonal take on a common staple! I do one flavoured with homemade applesauce so I know that moist pumpkin puree will be perfect too. Must try it the next I make granola.

    I love your new look, Faith!
    I love the round cutting or serving board. I have been looking for some round ones – dark and light – and thick and rustic – not easy to find, for me. Your recipe looks delicious. I am going to snoop a bit more… there may be some cookie dough recipes I am missing. ;)
    Just retired, back from Italy, and don’t plan to miss anymore of your incredible posts!

    I’ve never really gotten into granola, but I bet it’s because I’ve only ever had super sweet storebought flavors. Give me a bowl of this and I’m certain I’d be won over.
