Festive Pumpkin Fall Spice Granola Inspo
Gabe and I hike a lot in the fall. We always enjoy taking my family dogs to a Crescent Lake in Southington, CT. Now that we have adopted Liberty, we have to take shorter hikes until she builds up her strength. Nonetheless, that does not stop us from going.
During our hikes, we love to sit down and have a small snack while taking in the view. This granola is perfect for doing such. It will not bog you down too much for the rest of your hike and can easily be carried with you!
The granola is also the perfect addition to any parfait that you make. I enjoy a nice parfait all times of the year, despite it being popular mainly in the summer.
This festive pumpkin fall spice granola also stores well in a glass jar in the fridge for approximately 30 days! Which makes it extra great!
Festive Pumpkin Spice Granola Ingredients
Old Fashion Rolled Oats. I used Quaker brand, but you can use any you'd like. Make sure they are not quick oats, as they will not work well.
Pecans. They add a great fall flavor to this! Make sure they are chopped (or chop them yourself).
Pumpkin seeds. They add a great crunch to this granola.
Pumpkin Pie Spice, Cinnamon and Allspice. Essential for fall spice.
Maple Syrup. It is the sweetener for this granola!
Nut butter. I used a cashew, macadamia, coconut butter from Performance Nut Better. You can receive a small discount with the code: Peachhtreee. Buy it here.
Eating this granola.
Eat it alone, pour it in cereal or top your yogurt with it! It is extremely verstaile.
