Ingredients to make Pumpkin Spice Granola

I’m sure you will have all these ingredients in your pantry! Only 5 ingredients are required:

• Rolled oats – main character of the movie here! If Gluten-Free make sure to get a certified one.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice – Pumpkin pie spice is a mixture of spices that are used in pumpkin pies or other pumpkin-flavored foods. It typically contains cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves
• Liquid sweetener of choice – In my case, I used honey but if you are vegan, feel free to use maple or date syrup.
• Almond butter – It’s a spread made from the nuts of the seed of an almond tree. I love using almond butter on this recipe because it doesn’t change the real Pumpkin Pie Spice flavor!
• Himalayan Salt

The Instructions

• Prepare – Gather all the ingredients, start by mixing all the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice and himalayan salt. Therefore, in a separate bowl mix the liquid sweetener of choice and almond butter.

• Microwave – Once you have mixed the almond butter and liquid sweetener of choice. Microwave for 45 seconds. Then, stir well and pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

• Bake – Preheat oven at 175C. Grease a tray or use a parchment paper, place the mixture on the tray and spread out evenly leaving large chunks. Bake for 15 minutes.

• Serve – It’s important to let it cool, in that way the granola will turn out crunchy! Enjoy with yogurt, fruits, smoothie bowls or alone!

Tips for storing this Homemade Granola

Store in an airlight container or mason jar up to 4 days! (But I don’t think you would need to store them for a long time! They are so addicting and will be gone quick, hehe)

What to serve with this Pumpkin Spice Granola (optional)

1. Fruits: strawberries or banana slices or any desired fruit.
2. Yogurt: Any of choice, could be a plant-based one or greek yogurt. I recommend a plain or vanilla one because the granola is full of flavor and is already sweet!
3. Smoothie bowls: They are perfect for the crunch feeling you need in these bowls! They are perfect!!
4. Milk: Just like a typical cereal bowl. Add-in the granola into a bowl first and the pour some milk. I would choose an unsweetened almond milk but feel to use any milk of choice.
5. Alone: YES! They’re so good that could be eaten alone as a snack or even dessert!

Notes

• Gluten-free? Use a certified gluten-free oats.
• Can I use quick oats? Yes, of course! The only thing is that you won’t get “granola clusters“. You will get “cereal” texture instead.
• Liquid of sweetener options? Honey, Maple or Date syrup
