Pumpkin Granola

Pumpkin Granola is a crunchy, slightly sweet treat that is perfect for a fall breakfast or a mid-day snack!

Granola is one of those things that I never think to make or eat, then kick myself for forgetting about it and waiting so long, when I finally do have some. I remember when I used to buy bags of chocolate and raspberry granola and mix it in with yogurt for breakfasts at work, then snack on the granola by itself throughout the day. Then one day it was like it disappeared from my food memory bank, and I stopped buying or eating it. I do remember that those bags weren’t cheap either. Maybe that’s why I stopped buying it. Ha.

For whatever reason, the beloved granola made it’s way back into my mind, and I decided I wanted to make a fall-flavored version, to once again enjoy with yogurt or as a snack on its own. And boy am I glad I did. Because this, my friends, is one delicious granola. And I promise it’s also more friendly on your wallet! It’s crunchy, with a good mix of savory, sweet, and salty flavors that pairs perfectly with your favorite yogurt, or just shoveled into your mouth by the handfuls. No judgement here!
