I’m all about making something yummy in the morning for my kids. They’ve always loved granola (as have I throughout the years, too!). The second I heard about this Pumpkin Spice Granola recipe, I knew I needed to try it out! I’m not a big baker or cook, so I love anything that’s easy, peasy. I also know that my kids don’t usually go for anything off what they’re used to – but this Pumpkin Spice Granola was a win win for them!
Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe – Gluten Free
It’s that time of year… PUMPKIN everything! I’m in love with this season, so I love every single thing about it! The weather in New England has been teasing us a bit because it’s been so warm! Usually you would think it’s chilly in October in New England, but it’s 80 degrees here today! Just CRAZY! I’m not complaining because I’m still able to rock my flip flops… but I know the chilliness is coming!
Pumpkins are just about everywhere right now here in New England! It’s also the best time to indulge in some fabulous pumpkin recipes!! I love pumpkin muffins… scones… coffee… pancakes… ravioli… you name it, I love it!

As always – please let me know what you think! If you did any variations, love to know! My husband wanted me to add chocolate chips after I made it, but I just couldn’t! I didn’t want to add any sweetness to it! I hope you love it! It definitely is something you can make year round for your family!

Looks delicious
I am not a huge fan of pumpkin but this looks really delicious!
this looks very easy! I love the ingredients and have all except the nuts. Can’t wait to try this!
Love to try this
I think this would taste amazing. I would also try it hot or warmed up on cold cold days. It looks good.
I love pumpkin and this would be a great starter for the morning. I will have to try this one.
I love the idea of this but I’m not sure how good pumpkin seeds would be for granola. They’re pretty chewy even when you roast them… and I tend to think of granola of something that should be crunchy and easy to chew (like cereal). Might be good though, I’ll have to try it 🙂
Yum! This looks so good!
This looks really good!
This looks absolutely delish. I’m going to give it a try tomorrow.
