Fall Spiced Granola

This crunchy Fall Spiced Granola is the PERFECT breakfast, topping or snack. It is sweetened with maple syrup and filled with the warm spices of fall!

Can you tell I'm obsessed with fall yet? There are some people who buy pumpkin spice candles in August because they're just dreaming of cooler weather. That would be me...Looking for the best granola recipe that will make your house smell amazing this fall? Look no further.

What I love about granola is that you can add just about anything you like. Add whatever nuts you have in your pantry and change up the sweetener by using honey instead of maple syrup to give it a different flavor. Granola is so versatile!

I choose to add sliced almonds, pecans and raw pumpkin seeds, all of which you can buy from amazon or get at any grocery store. The rest of the ingredients are commonly found in most everyones pantry and fridge.

Granola is one of my favorite things to wrap up in a little bag and give as a gift. I recently made up a few bags, wrapped them in a fall plaid ribbon, and gave them to several friends who had recently moved into a new home.

Truly the best way to spread joy this holiday season. For more fall-inspired desserts, check out my pumpkin donuts, apple pie bars, and pumpkin whoopie pies!

Happy fall baking!
