Autumn Harvest Granola is a delicious homemade granola. This granola is seriously the best granola ever! It has a delicious, sweet flavor, with the perfect amount of crunch! I love it because you can break it up into big pieces for an even better crunch! It’s made with pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, and dried sour cherries, bringing a delicious Fall flavor to the mix. I love a granola with big clusters and bunches, and this is just that! I love it and I think you will too. Make it with me!

Autumn Harvest Granola is the Best

This Autumn Harvest Granola is one of my favorite granolas ever. I love all the ingredients in this recipe, and I love the delicious way the flavors come together. The base is made up of old fashion oats, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and cashews. Then, everything is held together in a savory syrup made up of maple syrup, brown sugar, and olive oil.

The Inspiration For This Recipe

    This recipe comes from a restaurant in New York. It was shared with me by a neighbor friend, and it was love at first bite. I have made some variations, and the recipe below is my very favorite of all my attempts. I have found the best tasting Olive Oil for this is the Wesson Blend of sunflower, soybean and canola oils. You can substitute Pecans for Cashews if you prefer. It is delicious either way.     

DOUBLE THIS RECIPE

      I almost always double, or even triple this recipe! One batch is never enough for my hungry crowd! This recipe doubles very well! For storing, break up and store in an airtight container in the fridge. It will save up to two weeks.
