Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond oil or olive oil
- 3 ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 ⅓ cup pecans
- 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup hemp seeds or pepitas pumpkin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper or with a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup and almond oil until combined.
- In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, pecans, hemp seeds, salt and pumpkin pie spice mix, and stir to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Spread half of the granola in an even layer on a lined baking sheet. Don’t make the layer too thick or it won’t get too crunchy.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes on 250°F, middle or middle lower shelf, until the granola is lightly golden on top. It won’t be crunchy just after out of the oven, but it won’t feel wet either.
- Let the granola cool before stirring and breaking into chunks.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes
For big pumpkin granola clusters, remember:
Don’t stir your granola while baking, nor right after taking it out of the oven. You need to wait until it cools to break it up in the size you want.
Spread it well over the baking sheet, evenly, in a thin layer. Don’t leave much space between the pieces, but also don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
Don't overbake it.
Make your own pumpkin pie spice:
Ingredients: 2 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 and a half teaspoon of ground nutmeg, ⅔ teaspoon of allspice and ⅔ teaspoon of cloves.
Mix well all the spices before using and store in any container with a lid to keep the mix flavorful and aromatic.
