How to Bake Pumpkin Pie Granola – Overnight Baking Method

How to Store Homemade Pumpkin Pie Granola

When the granola comes out of the oven, use a spatula or scraper and loosen the granola from the baking sheet and crush into smaller bits.

You can store the granola in a resealable baggie or container. It will be good at room temperature for 4-5 days. After that, you can transfer it and store it in the freezer. Take out a scoop at at time, as you need it. It will thaw quickly to room temperature.

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Granola

Homemade granola is much cheaper and easy to flavorize, and this Pumpkin Pie granola makes for the perfect fall breakfast!

Prep Time10 minutes minutes

Cook Time10 minutes minutes

Servings - 12 servings

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup chopped nuts, like walnuts or almonds optional
• Milk or yogurt, for serving
• Fresh fruit side dish

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 325 F. Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and the pumpkin pie spice.
• In a larger mixing bowl, toss together the quick cooking oats, rolled oats, and chopped nuts.
• Pour the butter-pumpkin mixture over the oat mixture and mix well.
• Spread the granola onto the prepared cooking sheets and press to cover the bottom. If there is a little empty space on the cookie sheet, that's okay. You just want the granola not to be too thick in places and even all around, so it cooks evenly.
• Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
• Then turn off the oven after 10 minutes and let the granola finish cooking as the oven cools down. It's ready to eat the next morning, or 4-5 hours later (if you bake it in the morning). Use a metal spatula to loosen and break the granola into chunks for serving.
• Serve Overnight Granola with milk or yogurt and some fresh fruit.
