Gluten-free Pumpkin Granola with Clusters! This vegan granola recipe is such an easy homemade granola to make in just 30 minutes.
So I am the first to admit that I am not the best homemade granola maker. I have tried a few times and yes they are yummy but for some reason I always like the brands you can get at the store better. They are crunchier and the whole skipping the baking part also isn’t too bad ha! But I am a sucker for my favorite granola recipes here on the blog, especially the chickpea one!
This recipe turned out crunchy and clustery and sweet with no refined sugars! Plus I added a few of my favorite fall spices and nuts and seeds to the granola to make it hearty, satisfying and simple! But it is mind boggling to me the amount of granolas out there LOADED with excess sugar. I am all about a little sweetness, but sometimes the amount added is just silly. You only need a little maple syrup for this recipe!
Making this granola will take you 5 minutes to prep basically and then only 30 minutes to cook! Quick and easy and then you will have a delicious fall-inspired granola to enjoy for days.
What granola ingredients you need:
- Gluten-free rolled oats
- Unsweetened coconut shreds
- Chopped nuts
- Flaxseed meal
- Chia seeds
- Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice
- Coconut sugar
- Pumpkin puree
- Maple syrup
- Olive oil or coconut oil
How to make pumpkin granola:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, nuts, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice
- In a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, maple syrup, oil, hot water and vanilla extract
- Pour the wet ingredients onto the dry ingredients and mix well to evenly coat
- Add the granola to baking sheet and press down so the ingredients are in one layer, stuck together
- Bake in oven for 15 minutes then rotate tray and bake for another 15 minutes
- Break the large cluster into smaller pieces and enjoy!

I’m always appalled at the amount of sugar in granola too! Its ridiculous sometimes and totally unnecessary. This looks super tasty. I’m a big fan of homemade granola. Loving the addition of almond butter here! Adding nut butter to anything makes it better;)

This sounds so amazing! What do you suggest for making it grain free? Additional nuts and seeds? Love me some pumpkin! Live in the fall!!!
