Pictures were updated September 2018, text and recipe is the same.
I knew after I made my Paleo Cinnamon Granola I would be playing around with other flavor combinations and this one is so good!! This granola is packed with all the healthy stuff- pecans, almonds, unsweetened coconut, pumpkin, and it's only sweetened with a little maple. This is healthy enough for breakfast, but also great for snacking. This granola is grain free, gluten free, vegan, and free of refined sugar <--- I can feel good about all that! And it has so much flavor! The pumpkin pie spice really adds all those warm fall flavors and makes it irresistible.
My sister stopped by the other night to pick up some chocolate and I gave her some of this granola...
and this was her text to me on her way home!! I was so happy to hear she liked it!!

You're welcome, Andrea! Thanks for trying it and I'm glad you like it!
Joyce says
What is the difference between coconut flakes and unsweetened coconut?
Jessica DeMay says
Coconut flakes are large and shredded coconut is fine. They are both linked so if you click on it you'll know more what I'm talking about. Hope that helps!
Shari says
I have this in the oven right now, and it smells amazing!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying it, Shari! Hope you love it!
Anna says
This was SOOOOO good. I had to put it away so I wouldn’t eat it all. My husband loves granola and even though we do eat oats, we love nuts and this granola was crazy yum!!!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Anna! I'm so glad you both love it!
Lottie says
What's in the pumpkin spice? Where can I find that? Looks delicious!!!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Lottie- it's a combination of seasonings. You can find it at any store in the spice section or make your own, just google it and the spices will come up.
Kim says
Hi! Can I sub oat flour instead of coconut? Thanks!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Kim- yes, that will work. Enjoy!
Ashley says
How much is it per serving and what is the nutrition info?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Ashley- I don't calculate nutrition facts, but you can use a site like My Fitness Pal to figure it out. You can put in your serving size there to whatever you like. Hope you try it!
Ashley says
If you’re following a clean eating plan you don’t really need to calculate the calories right?
Jessica DeMay says
Exactly! I don't count calories, I focus on eating real, nutritious food. That's why I don't calculate it for my site. I don't want people to focus on that.
