Ingredients
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1 cup pecan pieces
  • ¼ - ½ cup raisins, chopped
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ⅔ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 heaping tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350*
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice. Stir to mix completely.
  3. Next add nuts, seeds, coconut & raisins and mix well.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and pour granola mixture on top, spreading evenly into a single layer.
  5. Place baking sheet on middle rack of the oven and cook for 30 minutes, flipping the granola after about 15 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven and cool thoroughly. *NOTE* It may not seem fully crisp, but let it cool a little before you bake it any longer...it will usually crisp up as it cools.
  7. Granola should be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week for best results.
