Gluten-free pumpkin granola with all the flavors of fall. Sweet, crunchy, a hint of cinnamon, sweetened with honey, and full of pumpkin. It makes the perfect breakfast or snack.
All right every body! It is time for #pumpkineverything ! It is all over facebook, pinterest, everywhere. I've been holding onto this recipe for gluten-free pumpkin granola for awhile now because I had to wait until it was almost fall so that it would be acceptable for me to jump on the pumpkin wagon.
I'm a sucker for homemade granola. When I was a little girl we always had homemade granola for breakfast (another favorite was gluten free waffles). It just brings back so many good memories. I remember helping my mom measure the honey and oil, pouring it over the oats and stirring it until everything is all sweet and sticky. It is even better with pumpkin!
Just a hint of cinnamon, with the sweet honey and the crunchy oats and everything all enveloped in pumpkin. I also threw in some chia seeds, ground flax seeds, dried cranberries, and some pumpkin seeds. I had to add pumpkin seeds...because pumpkin! You can add different mix-ins if something else tickles your fancy. I love coconut in my granola!
This gluten-free pumpkin granola is so easy to make, and sweet and crunchy. It is a recipe that you'll make time and time again.
Now that I have mastered homemade pumpkin granola, I am dying to try my hand at homemade granola bars. Nicole from Gluten-Free on a Shoestring has a master granola bar recipe that covers how to make chewy, crunchy, and no-bake granola bars.
