Description
Pumpkin Spice Pecan Granola that’s gluten-free, no-oil-added, and refined-sugar-free with pumpkin purée and pecans. Perfect for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups raw pecans
- 1/3 cup raw pepitas
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- dash of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling!)
- 1/4 cup + 2 TBSP Georgia Grinders Pecan Butter (or sub your favorite nut or seed butter)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the oats, pecans, pepitas, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, maple syrup, pumpkin purée, and pecan butter to a large mixing bowl. Stir everything well to combine. The granola should be well coated but crumbly.
- Spread the mixture onto the parchment covered baking sheet and press it into an even layer with a spatula or your hands. Bake the sheet for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway but not stirring anything.
- Once the granola is golden brown on top and the edges, remove the pa from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes. Don’t touch the granola during this time! This will yield chunkier granola.
- After 15 minutes minutes, break the granola into desired sized chunks. Allow the granola to cool completely, then transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for several weeks.
