Pumpkin Granola

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oats
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup/other sweetener (I used Coconut Merchant’s honey alternative)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (I used apricots)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175C/300F.
  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients (except the dry fruit) in a large bowl.

  3. Then mix in the pumpkin purée, tahini and maple syrup with the dry ingredients until everything is coated (I like to use my hands - it's a bit messy, but a lot quicker and more efficient!).

  4. Spread the granola mixture evenly on a greased pan or parchment paper. Press down with a spoon, or your hands, to even it out.

  5. Bake for ~30 minutes, until golden brown. Then break the granola into pieces and flip it to the other side; bake another ~10 minutes until it crisps up.

  6. Once taken out of the oven, add the apricots on top of the baked granola – they will soften as the hot granola mixture cools.

  7. Let cool, and store in an airtight container. Serve with plant milk, on top of breakfast bowls, ice cream, etc, and enjoy!
