    Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Maple Granola

    So when it comes to all things Fall, I hope we can all agree that should include lots of pumpkin, pecans, & maple flavors...Oh & let's not forget chocolate.

    Cause chocolate just belongs in the mix year round. And since dark chocolate has lots of great health benefits as well, hopefully we can also agree on some year round CHOCOLATE!

    So if I got you guys on board with granola, Fall flavors, & chocolate then.....You're REALLY gonna need to try this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Maple Granola.

    Since it definitely will satisfy your sweet tooth, chocolate cravings ← since hubby requires chocolate in the mix, &  for sure let's not forget the pumpkin.

    While pumpkin is kind of mild on it's own, adding all the pumpkin spice seasonings is what makes it shine.

    Aka...pumpkin pie seasoning, which actually just consists of a blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice & cloves.

    Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Maple Granola is an easy recipe bursting with Fall flavors of pumpkin, maple & pecans. Perfect for breakfast or a grab & go snacking. Vegan & Gluten Free.

    So you really can take pumpkin to the next level with just a few of those seasonings.

    And since I'm pretty much the queen when it comes to seasoning inventory, I normally just like to blend my own together..

    Cause guess what?? You can never have too many seasonings..Haha!

    And I'm pretty much checking my inventory of these on a weekly basis.

    While I do love using lots of fresh herbs when available, keeping the dried seasonings around is a no-brainer...Especially when you're into cooking all the time← Life of a Food Blogger!

    Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Maple Granola is also a no-brainer since it is....

    • Easy to prepare & makes your houses smell AMAZ-ing
    • Bursting with lots of Fall flavors
    • Loaded with chocolate
    • Perfect for a grab & go snack or breakfast
    • Made without added refined sugars
    • Gluten free & Vegan

      I love homemade granola so much. I've never used pumpkin puree before though. This recipe sounds really good and I need to make it soon.
