Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine oats, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or honey), coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spoon to create uniform thickness.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break into clusters.
Optional: Stir in dried cranberries or raisins for added sweetness.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.

Swap pumpkin puree with sweet potato or butternut squash puree for a different twist.

For added crunch, mix in chia seeds, flaxseeds, or shredded coconut.

Add more spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a spicier flavor.
