I love granola and bought it often before realizing how easy it is to make your own! So, of course, I had to experiment and add pumpkin to it during this time of year!

I love using Bob’s Red Mill Old Fashioned Gluten-Free Oats and stock up often. It can be used for so many recipes like my Vegan Carrot Energy Bites, Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies, or my Fruity Oatmeal Bars.

This recipe is versatile too so switch up and add whatever nuts, dried fruit or seeds you like! I went with walnuts, dried cranberries, flax meal, and pumpkin seeds.

The main takeaway is to LET IT COOL! This way it gets that granola crunch to it. Then it can hold up in cereal with berries for a great breakfast treat! Right now I am enjoying it in over yogurt and basically by the handful when I open the pantry and see it staring at me! I like to keep mine in a big mason jar to retain its crunch. Let’s just say I have a slight obsession with mason jars and use them for everything!

You can double the recipe and give it away to friends & family as a small gift. What’s better than a homemade gift? Be sure to share with me on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest when you make your batch! I love to see your creations! Check out my homepage for more simple healthy recipes!
