Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Combine pecans, oats, cranberries, dates, hazelnuts, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds in a large mixing bowl. Pour in maple syrup mixture and toss to combine. Spread mixture onto the baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until granola looks dry, 3 to 4 hours. Allow to cool until crisp. Crumble into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a covered container.

Recipe Note

Made without grains, this pumpkin seed granola is sticky, almost like a toffee. If you choose to include oats, it makes a more traditional style. Either way, the spices are spot-on for a pumpkin spiced, autumnal treat that's perfect for breakfast with milk or as an afternoon snack. Store in a sealed, covered container up to 1 month.
