    This recipe is so easy and quick and so much better for you than store bought. Once you make it once you will wonder why you ever got it from the store in the first place.

    Is homemade granola bad for you?

    Homemade granola is much healthier for you than store bought. You get to choose the ingredients and manage the sugar levels, when most store bought granolas are full of added sugar. This pumpkin granola recipe is gluten free, refined sugar free and a great, fiber-filled snack.

    Have you ever checked out the ingredients in store bought granola? Don't do it. It's actually kinda scary. 14 grams of sugar in one serving? That's nearly as many as a McDonald's ice cream cone.

    How long does homemade pumpkin granola last?

    Granola can be stored in an air-tight container for up to six months at room temperature. If you want it to last even longer, place the air-tight container in your freezer to keep it for up to a year.

    Can I freeze homemade granola?

    Granola is a great recipe that holds up really well in the freezer. Make sure it's in an air-tight container or zip lock bag and store it for up to one year.

    How to make pumpkin granola:

    It's just as easy to make your own and you know exactly what's going in it! There's a good chance you have pumpkin and oats in your pantry right now. There are only seven ingredients in this tasty concoction.

    The wet ingredients in this are what make this recipe so crunchy and sweet. The best part about this is you can choose whether you want to leave it in large clusters or not. When baking, half way through, mix it up to your desired consistency.

      I want to try your pumpkin granola, however, I am alergic to coconut. What can I use instead of the coconut oil?
