Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free oats
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup nuts (your choice)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and maple syrup until smooth and well combined. The mixture should have a uniform orange color and consistent texture.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir carefully, ensuring every oat and nut is coated with the pumpkin-maple mixture.
- Spread the granola mixture in an even, thin layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to create a uniform thickness for consistent baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
- Remove from oven when the granola is golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet, which will help it become crunchier.
- Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- • To ensure the granola clusters perfectly, make sure to spread the mixture in an even, thin layer on the baking sheet and stir every 10 minutes while baking. • For an extra crunchy texture, allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into clusters. • Feel free to customize the recipe by using your favorite type of nuts or adding a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor. • Store your homemade granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, making it the perfect snack to have on hand.
