Let’s start the day with this incredible pumpkin spice granola. Ok, ok I may be going a little overboard with the whole pumpkin thing but it is really hard not to when you are surrounded on all sides by all things pumpkin! I promise I will stop soon (maybe….probably not), but I have a fair bit of homemade pumpkin puree leftover from our Halloween festivities and I can’t just let it go to waste can I?

This quick and easy pumpkin spice granola will make your house smell awesome. It tastes great served with some thick strained yoghurt, or as a yummy crunchy topping on some baked apples for a quick and healthy dessert.

I first found a version of this recipe in The Sprouted Kitchen cookbook a few years back when I was still living in Australia, but back then adding pumpkin to granola was just too weird for me, so I never tried it. However now that I am living in the land where pumpkin is added to anything and everything it just seems like the natural thing to do. So I did it…..and I have to say pumpkin spice granola is super yummy.

  • 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree

  6. Once finished let the granola cool for a few minutes and then stir in the raisins

    I make a pumpkin spice granola — but it’s only pumpkin spices — not actual pumpkin. You win! This looks delicious!

      Thanks Lisa!! I love adding the pumpkin to use up that cup or two you always end up with after baking 🙂

Welcome to Whole Food Bellies

Hi, I'm Donna. Mom of three (four if you count the dog, but it feels more like she is my grandma?!?) and wife to one. I would love it if you joined me on a journey of creating happy people and happier bellies by cutting down on the processed foods in our diets, and indulging instead in delicious whole foods.

I focus on fast, simple and seasonal dishes the whole family will love - kid approved of course! Healthy and wholesome doesn't have to be boring!
