Tired of store-bought granola loaded with unnecessary sugars and additives? This gluten-free pumpkin spice granola recipe puts you in control of the ingredients, making it a healthier, low-sugar alternative. Perfect for fall snacking or on top of a yogurt bowl for breakfast, this granola will quickly become your go-to homemade granola recipe.

Making this healthy pumpkin spice granola is not only super easy, but it also makes your house smell amazing! It’s the perfect way to bring in those cozy fall vibes. Whether you're meal prepping or looking for a wholesome snack, this recipe fits right in.

Why Make Homemade Granola?

Making granola at home allows you to control the ingredients and adjust them to suit your needs. When was the last time you looked at the back panel of store-bought granola? I encourage you to take a look on your next grocery trip—you’ll often find a lot of added sugar and unnecessary ingredients. What should be a healthy snack often becomes less nutritious.

This low-sugar pumpkin spice granola gives you the flexibility to customize your granola based on your nutritional goals. Whether you're adding more protein with mixed nuts like almonds or opting for low-sugar granola options, making it at home is a win for your health.

  • 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil
  • ¼ cup of Brown Sugar
  • ⅓ cup Maple Syrup

Ingredient Variations:

You can easily customize this recipe. Swap brown sugar for maple syrup or honey for a lower-sugar granola option. Want to boost your granola with more protein? Try adding pecans or walnuts if you don’t have almonds on hand. Not a fan of pumpkin? - no problem check out our Cinnamon Vanilla variety!
