Recipe Steps
This grain-free granola recipe is so easy! Here is a step-by-step guide for how to make it.
Step One
Combine your ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I like to use dried cranberries that are sweetened with apple juice.
Step Two
Stir your ingredients together. Don’t forget the coconut flour as it helps absorb the moisture from the pumpkin puree.
Step Three
Pour your granola mixture onto a baking sheet.
Step Four
Bake your granola for about 25 minutes, or until it turns a golden brown. See the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact measurements and cooking temperature.
FAQs
Yes, absolutely! You can use whatever combination of nuts and seeds you like.
Just use a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and pinch of ground ginger, instead.

This looks absolutely delicious! I am from Switzerland and we do love our granolas every morning. I need this granola asap.
Would you say that the pumpkin puree could also be replaced by pear?
Hi Sarah! I definitely think you could use pear puree or applesauce to replace the pumpkin puree. Butternut squash puree would work, too. Enjoy!!!

Question: is the oil necessary? I eat an oil free diet. Otherwise, it sounds wonderful.
You could search for an oil-free granola recipe. In this one, I used a bit to help it stick together. 🙂
Looks tasty and healthy!
