Pumpkin Spice Granola

Happy Sunday, friends! We’re still hot and heavy in pumpkin spice season, and that means it’s a perfect time to whip up a batch of this Pumpkin Spice Granola! BTW, it has a secret boost of protein thanks to good-for-you collagen peptides.

Ingredients :
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, (200 grams)
  • 3/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped, (75 grams)
  • 2 scoops Sports Research collagen peptides, (22 grams)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, (4 fl oz)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, (2 fl oz)
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar, packed, (41 grams)
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil, (41 grams)
  • 1/2 tsp maple extract
Directions :

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with SILPAT or parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients until combined. Set aside.

  3. Add maple syrup, brown sugar, and coconut oil to a small bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds or until coconut oil is melted. Whisk until smooth, then pour over dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until wet ingredients evenly coat dry ingredients. Avoid overmixing so that some larger chunks remain.

  4. Spread granola mixture evenly onto lined baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes, then flip the granola with a spatula. Return to oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

  5. The granola will not be crunchy as soon as you take it out of the oven. Allow it to cool in the hot baking sheet for at least 20 minutes before serving. (I actually let mine rest on top of the hot oven until it was completely cool.)
