Homemade Gifts: Paleo Pumpkin Granola

November 3, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

Back in September, I quietly set about doing Whole 30 for the month. I post a few snippets here and there on Instagram but I definitely wasn’t shouting to the world that I was immersed in a whole month of new eating habits. During the month, I craved granola because I could no longer have my delicious granola bars that had become snack staples in my life. Of course, being September, I needed pumpkin too so this paleo pumpkin granola was born.

The most delicious homemade pumpkin granola and it is paleo too! Totally Whole 30 compliant.

With the holidays fast approaching, I started thinking about great options for small gifts for my neighbors to say thank you for being a part of our lives and to just give them a little something as a holiday gift. Knowing so many people have different dietary restrictions, I immediately thought of my favorite pumpkin granola recipe as the perfect gift.

Paleo Pumpkin Granola Ingredients:

1/2 cup sliced almonds
2/3 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
8 dried, pitted dates, chopped
1/3 cup dried, unsweetened cranberries
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup coconut oil, softened
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, roughly chopped if full flakes
1/3 cup maple syrup {optional…leave out for Whole30}
 2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch of salt

Let’s Make It:

1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2) In a large bowl, combine almonds, pepitas, walnuts and spices. Stir well to combine. Stir in cranberries, dates and coconut. Mix well.

3) In a small bowl, combine pumpkin puree and coconut oil. Stir well to combine. Add to bowl with dry ingredient and stir well. Pour onto prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 35-45 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes so it doesn’t burn. Remove from oven and let cool.

This granola is amazing on its own {Mathlete eats it straight out of the bag I store it in at home} or with some coconut milk. Instead of cereal in the morning or my typical granola bar at snack time, I would just have a small scoop of this.

Easy and delicious paleo pumpkin pie granola!

So, as you are getting gifts together for your neighbors, family and friends, you can definitely add this one to your list. Just package up some of it in a little glass jar that seals {hello, mason jar!} and attach a cute tag. Easy peasy and really inexpensive too.

Of course, I wouldn’t leave you without a way to get the perfect gift tag for your jar of granola. Visit Seven Thirty Three for this gorgeous gift tag that she is offering as a free download!
