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!
Combine the pumpkin, coconut oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally to break up any clumps of brown sugar, and then turn off the heat.
Stir together the pumpkin mixture with the oats and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
Spread in an even layer on a large baking sheet and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the moisture is gone and the granola is golden, toasted, and slightly crunchy, stirring every 10 minutes.
Cool completely.
