Halloween might be over, but pumpkins are still very much in season, and Natlicious Food’s pumpkin granola makes autumn mornings easy and full of flavor. This homemade granola combines steamed pumpkin, oats, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds for a seasonal breakfast that’s both simple and nourishing. Making granola at home takes just minutes of mixing and baking, and it stores well for weeks.
Pumpkin adds a hint of natural sweetness and color, while pumpkin seeds bring crunch and essential minerals. Walnuts contribute healthy fats and a toasty flavor that pairs well with the spices in the mix. Once baked, the granola becomes crisp and golden, perfect for layering or sprinkling.
