Pumpkin Flax Granola Recipe

This homemade pumpkin flax granola recipe is loaded with good things and sweetened with honey. This homemade granola is crunchy, chewy, clustery and satisfying! We’ve recently been cutting back on our sugar intake (carrot cake excluded ;)).

In paying close attention to nutrition labels we noticed something that was a major bummer; our favorite organic granola had cane sugar as the second ingredient (ingredients are listed in order from the most to the least so the second most substantial ingredient in our boxed granola was sugar). Organic does not always equal healthy.

My hubby and I were so bummed because one of our go-to breakfasts is what you see above (plain Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, chia seeds, granola and fresh fruit.

Without the granola there was a void and the yogurt didn’t keep me full very long. I searched high and low for a healthy substituted because I wasn’t ready to give it up. Bag after bag had loads of added sugar and preservatives. So this pumpkin flax granola recipe was born .

P.S. This granola stores well in an airtight container at room temperature.

Homemade Granola Recipe Ingredients:

The ingredients are simple and so good for you! No store-bought granola can touch this because everything in the store has either a mile long list of ingredients or is laden with sugar. With this homemade granola, what you see is what you get. You know exactly what goes into it! We use the old fashioned rolled oats pictured below (whole grain and Bob’s Red Mill brand). We also prefer using coconut oil because it adds great flavor.

Ingredients needed to make homemade granola

How to Make Homemade Granola:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combined 3 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup coconut flakes, 1 cup pumpkin seeds and 1/4 cup flax seeds.

2. In a second bowl, stir together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/2 tsp salt. They will combine easier if you heat them in the microwave 15-30 seconds.

3. Drizzle the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and gently toss/stir until evenly coated. Spread onto a large 3/4 baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 325 for 18-20 min, stirring once halfway through for even toasting. Remove from the oven and let cool completely then crumble with your hands and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Thank you for this recipe! It smelled amazing in the oven, and it tastes pretty darn close to the bagged version (without the cane sugar and soy oil). I added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the finished granola.

      Hi! I’m so glad you love the recipe! I think you could use instant oats instead of rolled oats. I have not tested it so you may need to experiment with it. The cook time could be less, and the final dish might not have as much texture. Let us know how it turns out if you test it out. 🙂

    Thank you for this easy, delicious, and nutritious recipe! I have been buying organic pumpkin flax granola, but it is very expensive. Plus, the second ingredient (after oats) is cane sugar and the third is soybean oil! Your recipe is healthier, far less expensive, and my entire family says it is more delicious! Thank you so much!

    Hi! I have a couple of questions for you!
    I wanna try this but I am supposed to watch the sugar! Will replacing the honey with sugar-free honey change anything (besides the flavor), as long as it is the same consistency?
    Can I use a silicone baking mat? They help crisp things up as well as help save time scrubbing pans and such!
    Also, when you say 1/4 of coconut oil, does that mean 1/4 cup then melt or 1/4 worth of melted oil? Sorry, I’m not a cook or anything so I have to have some things explained clearly!

    Thank you for sharing! I really look forward to trying this regardless!

      Hi EllieMae, I haven’t tested that substitution so I’m not sure if it will have an effect on the texture. Let me know how it goes. A silicone baking mat should work fine We measure the 1/4 cup before melting. It’s easier to measure that way and it comes out to be pretty much the same measurement.

    This is a great recipe!
    For those needing to reduce sugars, I sub monkfruit maple syrup for the syrup and brown rice syrup for the honey. Less fructose and still delicious!
    I also throw in a couple spoonfuls of chia seeds.
    If you love spices, I add a few shakes of ginger powder, and a couple of nutmeg and cloves.

    Thank you for this recipe!

    Great granola. So easy our 6 & 9 year olds can make it. I used flax meal instead of flax seed since that’s all that was in my pantry. Worked out fine since the meal was evenly coated over everything. Will be our new pantry staple.

It’s packed full of good things – and I add even more: some chopped dried dates, chia seeds, sliced almonds as well at the pumpkin seeds, and just for fun, some maple syrup (which we make from our own trees). Yum, yum, yum! Great with milk and fresh fruit or over Greek yogurt.

    I made this today and it was still wet and limp after baking and cooling off. Maybe it needs to be spread out between two medium pans instead of one large one?? I’m going to try baking it on a large tray at 300 degrees for a bit longer. I’ll give an update later. Flavor is quite good though.

      Hi Tc, if it seems damp, you can return it to the oven and dry it out for a few more minutes. I used a large 3/4 baking sheet (I have a link above in the recipe), but if you use smaller pans, it is a good idea to spread them out onto two pans. 🙂

    This recipe looks fabulous! I’m 3 months pregnant and was looking for a cereal substitute that wasn’t packed with tons of sugar yet highly nutritious.

      I haven’t tested it with maple but now that you mention it, I’d like to give it a try. We always have real maple syrup on hand. I don’t know if it’s necessarily better but it does have some health benefits that maple syrup does not. I know honey doesn’t spike blood sugar like granulated sugar but I’m not sure how it compares to maple syrup.

      That’s awesome that you were able to find that. On all of the ones I’ve seen in bins, sugar listed as the second or third ingredient, which means there is a decent amount of it in there.

        It’s good to keep in mind what else is listed in granola mix. In your recipe, if not for generous amount of pumpkin seeds, honey would be listed as 2nd or 3rd ingredient as well. And yes, honey is better sweetener than sugar, it’s still a pure form of fructose and glucose. But at least with homemade stuff you can control how much sweetener to add, if any.

    Hi Natasha. If you really want to reap benefits from honey vs. sugar, check out raw unpasteurized honey which doesn’t go through heating and all nutrients and health benefits are intact. Collected from hives and poured into containers. That is it. Other than that, I hate to say it but majority of honey sold in stores is pasteurized and not much better than sugar (however, I believe there are differences between regular beet GMO sugar and organic fair trade cane or palm sugar). I buy from a local farm near my house. It also can cure allergies.

      I have an entire book written on the benefits of raw honey. The honey we use (we refilled our little store container) is a raw unpasteurized honey from our church pastor. He has honey bees 🙂 I totally agree and local honey is definitely best 🙂

    All ingredients of Pumpkin Flax Granola Recipe are very nutritious and look delicious. Procedures of this recipe are long but very friendly. May be I will make it to feed for my 5 years old baby Shasha. Any suggestion ?

      My son is 6 and he enjoys the granola over yogurt.

    Just an FYI…I know that whole flax seeds add to the look and texture of a recipe but to obtain the health benefits, it must be ground-our bodies can’t break it down in its whole form-when ground, our bodies can utilize the healthy oils it provides 😊

      but then there would be another concern – ground up flex seeds oxidize extremely quickly and need to be consumed withing 10-20 min.

        Oh I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing. I guess it’s not a good idea to buy the pre-ground ones eh?

          Correct! You just grind flax seeds in grinder as you need them. The volatile oils go rancid rather quickly.

    Honey has quite a few benefits over refined sugar. I like granola for breakfast and you have a great recipe here. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

    Natasha – This is a blessing as we’ve discovered a lot of sugar in our products and unfortunately excluded granola from our diet. But you have just “opened our eyes” 🙂

    On another note, my husband and I are shopping for a Kitchen Aid… We don’t bake much, but like the different adjustments for grinding meat and potatoes (my son loves potato pancakes). Which one would you recommend? Thanks so much as always for all you recipes and new creations.

      Yay!! I’m happy to hear that :). As far as the kitchenaid goes, I currently use the Professional 6 Qt series, but if you don’t do a ton of baking (or bread making), a 5 Qt would probably do the job.

        ok, thank you…But does it include the meat and potato grinder or does that need to be purchased separately ?

          The attachments are usually sold separately. We purchased ours on Amazon.

    Hello Natasha! I love your recipes and your website, but recently I learned that my body can’t handle dairy and eggs and if it’s not too much to ask, can you help me find a few recipes that are dairy and oil free? I think breakfast is the most challenging for me. Anyways, God bless you and your family 🙂

      Oh wow that is tough. I’m sorry to hear you can’t have those things :(. The foods that come to mind are hashbrowns, all the breakfast meats, avocado spread sandwiches: https://natashaskitchen.com/2014/05/11/open-faced-avocado-spread-sandwiches/. You might google egg substitutes because people use flax and chia seeds to create a gel that works instead of eggs (might work for pancakes and waffles). Smoothies are always a good idea for breakfast – I have plenty of those posted.
