Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats 300 g
  • 1.5 cups almonds or pecans finely chopped (225 g)
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 10 pitted medjool dates finely chopped
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 100 g
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil 30 g
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup strongly brewed coffee
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300F.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the oats, almonds, pumpkin pie spice, dates, coconut and sea salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: 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.
  • Bake: Spread the granola in an even layer on 2 baking sheets and bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking.
  • Cool on Pan: 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.

Notes

This recipe makes a large 6-7 cup batch of granola. Feel free to half the recipe for a smaller batch.
The dates and coconut can be omitted or substituted with other add-ins like pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds. Nuts and seeds can be added before baking. If adding chocolate chips, raisins or cranberries, mix them in after the granola has cooled. Up to 1/4 cup of uncooked quinoa, ground flax or chia seeds can be added before baking.
Once it's completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Do not store before it's completely cooled. It can also be frozen to extend freshness.
