What You'll Need
3 and 3/4 cups (319g) Fresh Rolled Oats
1 cup (125g) unsweetened shredded coconut
2/3 cup (95g) pepitas (pumpkin seeds, raw or roasted)
1.5 cup (185g) halved or chopped pecans
2 tsp Burlap & Barrel Chai spice blend
1.5 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup (115g) coconut oil
1/2 cup (115g) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
3 Tablespoons (38g) packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp Burlap & Barrel Nyanza Vanilla Powder
2/3 cup (95g) dried cranberries
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two large baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, stir the oats, coconut, pepitas, pecans, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
-
In a saucepan over low heat, whisk the coconut oil, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla powder until warmed through and sugar has dissolved. Pour over dry ingredients and mix until everything is moistened.
-
Spread mixture out onto prepared baking sheets and bake each batch for 40 minutes, making sure to stir the granola every 10–15 minutes to prevent burning.
-
Allow granola to cool for 20 minutes on the baking sheets. Granola gets crunchier as it cools. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the dried cranberries.
-
Cover tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. Granola will lose its crunch over time because of the wet pumpkin.
