Can we move onto baking now? So I have this super secret but not-so-secret plan to create a new granola recipe every time I run out of my last batch. Is that OK with you guys? I don’t like making the same thing twice anymore. Must be a side effect of food blogging. I’m totally fine with it though. It thrusts me out into the world and forces me to try new things. Like this granola, for instance. It has pumpkin and maple and pecans, oh my! How can you go wrong (no seriously)? This recipe is simple in that it requires just 30 minutes and 9 ingredients, most of which you’ll have on hand as autumn sets in (squeal). Pumpkin? Check.Maple syrup? Check.Pecans and pepitas? Check and check. Don’t you just love this time of year? The all important question: What does it taste like? Happiness on a spoon. It’s: CrunchyPumpkin-yNuttyNot too sweetPerfectly spicedHealthySatisfyingCustomizable& Shareable Because it’s loaded with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, this granola makes the perfect breakfast or snack. I love mine with a little almond milk. That’s really all it needs. Bonus: It would also make a lovely gift for fall birthdays and other special occasions. Give a friend granola, you’ll have a friend for life. That’s what I say. If you make this granola, give us a virtual high five in the form of a social media shout out! Tweet us @minimalistbaker or tag your Instagram #minimalistbaker, so we can see all the fall goodness you bake up. Cheers!
