Peanut Butter Pumpkin Spice Granola {gf, v, rsf}
Updated: Mar 24, 2021
Is anyone else obsessed with the pumpkin spice perfect protein bars? I look forward to the fall season primarily for these bars. This granola resembles the peanut butter pumpkin flavor from those bars perfectly. Peanut butter and pumpkin together is pretty much the best of both worlds; it’s perfectly sweet and spiced. Just like all my other granola‘s, she is extra chunky, and loaded with nutrient dense ingredients, such as almonds, walnuts, pumpkin purée, pure maple syrup, all natural peanut butter, hemp seeds, and lots more. This granola adds the perfect crunch to any cereal snack, yogurt bowls, overnight oats, smoothie bowl, or an all day snack. Done in under 30 minutes— you don’t want to miss out. This recipe is gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free!
