Ingredients
- 3 Cups rolled regular oats
- 1 1/4 Cups raw pecans, chopped as you like them
- 1/3 Cup raw pepitas
- 1/3 Cup Medjool dates, sliced
- 3/4 Cup cranberries, fresh or dried
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 Cup coconut oil
- 1/2 Cup maple syrup
- 1/3 Cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F
- Oil your cookie sheet Or line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone matt.
- Mix the oats, nuts, seeds and spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the coconut oil, maple syrup, fresh cranberries and pumpkin puree.
- Raise heat to boil.
- Raise heat to a boil and cook 5 minutes or so until cranberries burst. Stirring frequently
- Remove from heat.
- Spread the dry ingredients evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Pour the cooked ingredients over dry ingredients.
- Mix until wet ingredients are thoroughly incorporated..
- Bake for 20 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
- Serve over yogurt, eat it plain or with milk as a cereal.
Notes
Granola baking times can need adjustments. Stir the granola half way through to get it all exposed to the heat.
If you wnt it drier feel free to increase the baking time. If doubling the recipe EXPECT to increase the baking time quite a bit.
The granola will continue to dry as it cools after baking. However, it may have damp spots.
Make it as you like it.

Dear Susie, According to the Gourmetslueth.com this is what will work as a pumpkin pie spice substitute. "Make your own (Pumpkin Pie spice) by combining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. OR substitute apple pie spice". Hope this helps!
