Grain-free pumpkin spice granola:

Name: Grain-free Pumpkin Spice Granola
Ingredients: 1 cup almonds; 1 cup pecans; 1 cup cashews; 1 cup toasted coconut; 1/2 cup hemp seeds; 1/4 cup manuka honey; 2 Tbsp coconut oil; 1 tsp vanilla extract; Pinch of salt; 1 1/2 Tbsp Pumpkin spice; 1/2 tsp cinnamon

I am slowly transitioning into all things fall! And one of my new recipes I’ve created, is this grain-free pumpkin spice granola. It is made with pantry staples, super easy to prepare, and is grain-free.

Ingredients for granola:

What I love about making this granola is that it can be tailored to what is in my pantry. Therefore, the possibilities are endless and it make for a fun time getting creative with what I have in my pantry. But for this pumpkin spice granola here is what I used:

Almonds
Pecans
Cashews
Toasted coconut
Hemp seeds
Manuka honey or maple syrup
Coconut oil
Vanilla extract
Salt
Pumpkin spice
Cinnamon

Chopping the nuts:

I like to pulse the nuts a few times in my food processor to give the nuts a rough chop. But if you don’t have a food processor try chopping with a sharp knifer or using a high powered blender.

How to prepare the granola:

Once the nuts are chopped, add the rest of the ingredients, and mix. And then add it all to a lined 8×8 baking sheet and press down the granola to create an even layer. Bake 250 F for 40-45 minutes and once done let cool for 15 minutes and stick in the freezer for an hour to harden up.

Creating the granola chunks:

One the granola has been in the freezer for an hour with my hands I break it up into desired chunks. And I like it chunky, so I create some big delicious chunks.

How to store:

I like to store my granola in an airtight container either in the refrigerator or the freezer.
