Ingredients

  • 3 and 3/4 cups (319g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup (85g) unsweetened shredded coconut (leave out if desired)
  • 2/3 cup (95g) pepitas (pumpkin seeds, raw or roasted)
  • 1 cup (125g) halved or chopped pecans
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice*
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (56g) coconut oil, melted (or vegetable oil or melted butter)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) pure Pumpkin syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons (38g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (95g) dried cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line large bon Mat with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir the oats, coconut, pepitas, pecans, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites for about 1 minute. Then whisk in the melted coconut oil, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth and combined. Pour over dry ingredients and mix until everything is moistened.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cover tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. Granola will lose its crunch over time because of the wet pumpkin.

bonTIPS:
