PUMPKIN MAPLE PECAN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
• Mix the oats, nuts, seeds, spices, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree and whisk. Pour over the dry ingredients and quickly mix with a wooden spoon.
• Spread the mixture evenly onto two baking sheets (or bake in two batches // adjust if altering batch size) and bake for 23-33 minutes, stirring a bit near the halfway point. If you prefer chunkier granola, don't stir as it breaks up the clusters. Instead, just rotate the pans at the halfway point to ensure even cooking.
• Once the granola is golden brown (usually about 25 minutes), remove from oven and let cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
• Transfer to an airtight container. Should keep for a couple weeks. Enjoy with almond milk, dairy-free yogurt, or on top of oats!

FAVORITE PUMPKIN GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients together (oats, almonds, pistachios, coconut). Whisk the wet ingredients and spices together (pumpkin, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon). Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Spread the granola into a large nonstick jelly roll pan or cake pan - I do this on two separate pans or in two batches. Bake for 15 minutes; stir; bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest - it should start to crisp up.
• Store in a plastic zip-top bag for a week or so. Serve with granola, fruit, or just with good ol' milk.

PUMPKIN PIE SNACKING GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• To a large bowl add the oats, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin pie spice. To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the maple syrup, brown sugar and butter. Microwave for 20 to 40 seconds until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the butter mixture over the oats and mix. Sprinkle the granola onto a lightly greased baking tray, spread into an even layer and bake in the oven for 8 minutes, or until the nuts are lightly toasted. Add the coconut flakes and toss to combine. Return to the oven until everything is toasted and golden, another 3 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, then allow to cool completely, 1 hour. Enjoy, storing what's left in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
