Pumpkin Spice Granola
I am aware that this is the 4 millionth pumpkin spice granola on the internet. This is a fact that I learned after I had made it. I did a quick search and confirmed that everyone loves pumpkin spice – whatever the stuff gets jammed into, we are loving it, and especially if it is pumpkin spice granola!
I totally agree that the internet gets completely overloaded with pumpkin, squash and apples this time of year but why not let the seasons influence our food? It’s all fresh and affordable and beyond flavorful!
Homemade granola is a favorite of mine. There is something so warm and comforting about it that makes it fit perfectly with cool mornings, rainy afternoons and colorful leaves. Add it to yogurt, sprinkle it on top of pancakes, cheesecake or even pumpkin pie!
I have two awesome giveaways going on right now:

Frankly, I am loving all of the pumpkin, apple and squash recipes so bring it on sista!
You can never have too many granola recipes! And I love fall flavors. This looks great.
I love homemade granola so much. Craving it like mad now!
Oh my gosh, I want to make this! I just went through this week’s batch of granola, time to try this next! Gorgeous photos Cassie!
I love homemade granola too and this sounds like it would be so addictive!
Yes, yes, yes! And I have no problem with all the fall recipes floating around. Keep them coming! And this granola – YUM! I totally need this to sprinkle on my Greek yogurt in the mornings!
I love making homemade granola but have never made pumpkin granola which sounds fanatastic and so fall-like. I just printed a recipe for that the other day and now here’s yours. Looking forward to making it.
I’m a big fan of homemade granola!
cassie, you know i’m a granola girl! Did you make this just for me?? We love all the same things _ I wish I had a big bowl of this at work right now. It would make the gloomy weather outside seem much brighter. I love pumpkin in anything and everything!!!
Such a lovely flavour. I loooove granola!
This looks so delish. And I’m super jealous of your pictures, they’re always gorgeous. I hate when I think I’ve come up with an original recipe idea and then I google it and there’s tons out there already!
Love this! What a healthy and tasty treat to have around!
I ate granola for breakfast this morning but it certainly didn’t look like this! Need to try. 🙂
I made pumpkin granola a month or so ago – crazy addictive! Need to try your great looking version!
I definitely needed this for breakfast! Looks so yummy!
Mmm, I made a batch of granola last night too, great minds and all that 🙂 Have a great day Cassie!
I have never made homemade granola, but I really should–it looks so easy! Don’t you hate when you make something that you think is original and then it ends up being all over the place? Oh well, it’s still an awesome recipe! 🙂
Just made some pumpkin granola last weekend, will have to give your recipe a try next! Try…Greek vanilla yogurt with a spoon of orange marmalade swirled in, topped with your pumpkin granola…yum!!! My breakfast this week. 🙂
Such a pretty granola, I’m going to have to try this!
You are SO good at granola. Make me some? 😉
Love it!
I was just thinking of making some granola so maybe I will cut into our pumpkin and use the seeds to add to it. This looks delicious- gorgeous photos as always. There can never be too many pumpkin/squash recipes in the fall/winter.
There’s always room for another pumpkin spice granola recipe! Delicious!
I made pumpkin spice granola recently too! I love that there are sesame seeds in your version – I will definitely be adding those next time!
LOVE your attitude girl! Pumpkin season comes but once a year so we’ve gotta enjoy it while we can! I foresee myself grabbing handfuls upon handfuls of this granola!
This looks like some amazing granola!! There is no such thing as getting overloaded by pumpkin… I love all the new ideas I get. 🙂
There are NEVER too many pumpkin recipes! amen.
I absolutely love granola but I’ve never taken the time to make it myself. This looks fabulous.
I don’t care how many recipes there are out there, yours looks fantastic Cassie! And your photos are just gorgeous!
I’m always up for a little more pumpkin spice in my life, I just love those warm and cozy spices this time of year.
i love granola especially when it’s got pumpkin spice in it!
I love granola and I love pumpkin so this must be wonderful!
Cassie…there may be many recipes for pumpkin granola on the internet…but they are not YOUR recipes! I’m ashamed to tell you that I have yogurt with granola just about every other day for breakfast but have yet to make my own granola! Your recipe is going to be my first! Lovely pictures as always! : )
Count me among the pumpkin spice fans — love the addition of the pepitas to the granola!
There’s no such thing as too many granola or pumpkin spice recipes. Bring them on! 🙂 It’s so fun when there’s a theme to follow, if that makes sense. Like what is January? Or April? They have no fun theme. But October and November?! Yeah!
Anyway, the granola looks great! I’ve been on a store bought granola kick lately. Gotta stop that!
I say the more pumpkin recipes this time of year – the better!! I want some of this for my breakfast tomorrow!!
Mmmm… that’s a pretty batch of autumny granola!!
you can’t get enough pumpkin spice recipes! this one sounds perfect!
ha yup–i just posted a variation last week 🙂 i highly recommend mixing it with cottage cheese–sounds weird but i LOVED the combo!
You can never have too many granola recipes, and I’m pretty sure I’ll never get sick of pumpkin treats. Ever 🙂
Well i have not seen a recipe for pumpkin spice granola and I love the fall flavors to enjoy this season! Yum!
