Pumpkin Spice Pecan Granola | Destination Delish

Not only is this totally seasonal Pumpkin Spice Pecan Granola the best thing that’ll happen to your morning Greek yogurt routine, it will make your home smell like a pumpkin pie factory. And I mean that in the most delicious, cozy, I-could-eat-the-air-this-smells-so-good, type of way.

If you haven’t hopped on the make-your-own-granola train yet, now is your chance. It takes all of 5 minutes to throw the ingredients in a bowl, stir, spread them on a cookie sheet.

The most difficult part is the 45 minutes of waiting you’ll need to do as the little nutty oat morsels crisp up. Luckily, you’ll need to check on the granola every 15 minutes to give it a good toss, and also sneak a little bite big spoonful for quality control purposes, obviously. Just don’t forget to let the sample cool for a minute. It will be hot!

And as I mentioned before, this granola will infuse your home with the most insane pumpkin spice scent. Seriously, forget the pumpkin spice-scented candles. Just make this granola!

    My pecans became burnt within fifteen minutes of cooking. I even stirred at 7 mins., and 15 mins. then took a quick shower and 7 min. later burnt pecans.

    I picked them all out and added new pecans with no more cooking time.

      I’m so sorry this happened to you Linda. I just realized there was a typo in the recipe. Should be “preheat to 300 degrees”. Huge difference huh. Thanks for leaving the comment. I really appreciate it!
