Vegan Pumpkin Spice Granola

A chilly morning is no match for the warming spices in this yummy vegan pumpkin spice granola chock full of pistachios, pumpkin seeds, coconut, and pecans.

I can’t let the season pass without sharing a new pumpkin recipe! This simple vegan pumpkin granola is adapted from my healthy super seedy granola. The addition of the warming spices in the pumpkin spice blend and a hint of pumpkin flavor from the canned pumpkin make this recipe a winner.

Ingredients You’ll Need for this Vegan Pumpkin Granola

Old fashioned rolled oats
Nuts and seeds: I used pistachios, pecans, and pumpkin seeds (pepitas) in this version. However, walnuts and almonds would be great too.
Even a tablespoon or two of chia seeds or hemp hearts would be a tasty addition.
Canned pumpkin: Make sure it isn’t canned pumpkin pie filling as that will be much too sweet.
Olive oil: I like the flavor that olive oil adds to the granola but you can also use a different neutral oil like vegetable oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil
Maple syrup
Pumpkin pie spice
Coconut chips: these are optional but I love using them in granola!
Sea salt

How to Serve this Vegan Pumpkin Granola

Store your granola in an airtight container for up to a week. It makes a tasty snack all on its own, or serve it up in a bowl with some non-dairy milk and chopped banana or on top of some yogurt.
