A delectable cranberry granola loaded with oats, nuts, and pumpkin spice seasonings. Lightly toasted in the oven to bring out all the delicious flavors.
Cranberry granola has always been a household favorite. It’s crunchy, slightly sweetened, and it can serve as both a stand-alone snack or a topping. In fact, I’ve been known to grab some with a little coconut milk and have a pretty awesome “bowl of cereal.”
This recipe uses rolled oats, cranberries, and pumpkin spice. However, that’s not all the ingredients we use in our cranberry granola. In fact, you will find pecans, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and walnuts. Everything is sweetened with pure maple syrup.
Getting Started on the Cranberry Granola:
There are a total of seven ingredients you need to prepare this snack. Rolled oats, pecans, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and dried cranberries. That’s all you need to create this Fall treat.
Instructions:
First, pre-heat your oven to 225 degrees F. After that, in a large mixing bowl combine the rolled oats, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup. Please don’t add the dried cranberries yet! They do not have to bake, so they will be added last.
Next, make sure to give the ingredients a good stir. Otherwise, things might clump together and get a little too crispy on the outside, but be mushy on the inside. If you like your granola made in that way, that’s fine. Squishy insides are just not appealing to us.
Finally, spray a non-stick sheet pan with cooking spray and bake the granola on 225 degrees F. in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes. Then remove it from the oven, flip the toasted snack, place it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Once that step is completed, toss the cranberries with toasted granola and store or serve.
There you have it, semi-homemade granola. In closing, I invite you to give our dish a try. In keeping with tradition, let me wish everyone a long life, love everlasting, and a tummy full of cranberry granola.
