Crunchy, nutty, and packed with fall flavors, this Pumpkin Seed Granola is the perfect snack or breakfast topper. Loaded with wholesome ingredients and just the right touch of sweetness, it’s a must-make for cozy mornings.
1. Toast the Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the oats, almonds, and pepitas on a large baking sheet. Toast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway, until everything is toasty and fragrant.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
Remove the toasted mixture from the oven. Stir in the chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until combined.
3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, oil, and maple syrup. Drizzle this over the toasted oats and nuts.
4. Sweeten & Zest
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the granola and stir gently to create clumps. Add the orange or lemon zest for a bright, fresh flavor boost.
5. Final Bake
Return the granola to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden.
6. Cool & Store
Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks, or serve warm for a freshly baked treat!
