Notes
- For the best crunch: Give some breathing room on the baking tray and keep a close eye on the granola mixture while it bakes. Stir it from time to time to help it brown evenly.
- If you like your granola clumpier: Try using ½ cup of coconut oil and a mix of ¼ cup maple syrup with ¼ cup honey. If you want a vegan option, stick with all maple syrup, though it might not clump as much. After baking, press the granola down with a spatula and let it cool completely without stirring to help it form bigger clusters.
- Storing the granola: To keep the pumpkin seed granola fresh and crunchy, store it in an airtight container or resealable bag in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cabinet.
- Serving ideas: You can enjoy this granola by adding it to yogurt, a smoothie bowl (like my Chocolate Banana Smoothie Bowl), as a crunchy topping for ice cream, or simply by the handful as a snack anytime. Nutty, perfectly spiced, satisfying – enjoy!
