Pumpkin Spice Latte Granola
This pumpkin spice latte granola is the perfect answer to Fall mornings. If you love pumpkin spice lattes, you’ll love this delicious vegan granola!
Granola Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this pumpkin granola:
- Rolled oats. Look for rolled, old fashioned or large flake oats.
- Almonds. I used chopped almonds but pecans are lovely in this recipe too.
- Pumpkin pie spice. Pumpkin pie spice makes flavouring pumpkin recipes quick and easy but if you can’t find any, you can replace it with 2 tsp cinnamon, 1
- Maple syrup. This granola is sweetened naturally with maple syrup. You can use agave or honey in its place.
- Coffee. Brew some coffee – the stronger the better! Any coffee works but strongly brewed is best. You can use drip, French press, a strong Americano or any other brewing method.
- Pumpkin puree. You’ll need some pure pumpkin puree. I used canned but you can also make your own. If you’re using canned, just make sure it’s pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Coconut oil. Coconut oil helps the granola clump together and get nice and crispy.
- Optional add-ins. I added shredded coconut and chopped dates but technically they’re optional and the recipe will come out just find without out. I like the added flavour and texture. You could also use raisins, chocolate chips (stir in after baking), any nuts or seeds or any other granola add-in you can think of.

Description
This Fall-inspired granola is delicious with topped with almond milk or dairy-free yogurt for a delicious breakfast.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups almonds, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 10 pitted medjool dates, finely chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup strongly brewed coffee
- 1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Add the oats, almonds, pumpkin pie spice, dates, coconut and sea salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla, coconut oil, pumpkin, coffee and maple syrup then pour over the dry ingredients. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together.
- Spread the granola in an even layer on 2 baking sheets and bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes.
- Once it’s done, remove from the oven and let it cool on the pan completely before handling. This is an important step, as it cools it will harden and become nice and crunchy.

Super delicious and makes the house smell amazing! I used raisins instead of dates is all I did differently.

SO GOOD! This is my favourite granola recipe. It is sooo good as a cereal with oat milk or similar 🙂 Sometimes I add chopped pecans/walnuts/cashews as well, I just make sure all the nuts add up to 1.5 cup. It keeps very nicely in the freezer, in fact I usually store it there even when I plan on eating it soon! Most cans of pumpkin have way more than the 1/3 cup required for this recipe, but you can always store the rest in the fridge and use for desserts or something 🙂
