Pumpkin Chocolate Granola

A delicious pumpkin chocolate granola. A must for pumpkin lovers! There is nothing like homemade granola. Delicious!

My wife has always made granola and for the longest time, I only made her Cranberry Granola recipe. Since Fall is upon us, it was time for me to stretch a bit and make this Pumpkin Chocolate Granola.

Growing up I used to eat granola bars for breakfast almost every day. My favorite was Oats ‘n Honey granola bars from Nature Valley. As I got older, I expanded my tastes and added any bar that had chocolate in it.

One of the beauties of this recipe is that both the chocolate and dried cranberries are optional. This granola is awesome even without those two ingredients. This recipe is a must for all granola AND pumpkin lovers!

How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Granola

1- Preheat oven to 325°F.
2- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
3- In a large bowl, combine oats, chopped almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
4- In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and cloves. Mix until well blended. Pour mixture over the oats and combine until all ingredients are well coated.
5- Spread granola evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until granola is golden brown. Make sure to stir every 20 minutes. Once the granola has cooled, stir in cranberries and chocolate chips.
