Pumpkin Granola (nut-free)

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp. coconut nectar
  • 1/4 cup sunbutter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup roasted & salted sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup plain raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the coconut oil, coconut nectar, sunbutter, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to whisk occasionally, until it is well blended.


Meanwhile, mix the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, shredded coconut and raisins together in a medium-sized bowl.


Whisk the pumpkin-pie spice into the warmed sunbutter mixture, and remove from heat. Allow this mixture to cool slightly.


Once cooled, pour it into the bowl with all of your seeds/coconut/raisins. Mix well.


Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Pour in your mixture, spread it out evenly, and press it down with your hands.


Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.


Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a while on a wire rack. Break it apart into large chunks and store in an air-tight container.
