This Paleo Pumpkin Granola is healthy, easy, and so delicious!! Packed with nuts, coconut, and pumpkin and sweetened only with real maple syrup. This makes the perfect breakfast or snack. Gluten free, dairy free, and naturally sweetened.
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!!

Julie Rienhardt says
This granola is absolutely delicious, thank you so much for the recipe! I didn’t have quite enough maple syrup so I substituted some molasses and agave and I was a little short of nuts so I added some seeds but truly it’s the best granola I’ve ever had.

Thanks, Julie!

I noticed that the raisins are not mentioned when to add. If you cook them with granola they may be too hard. What did you do?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Joyce- sorry about that. It's updated now. They don't get hard at all during baking. You could soak them in warm water for a few minutes first if you're worried about that, but they always stay moist for me.
