Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Granola

There is nothing I like better than a good granola and this recipe is packed with great pumpkin pie spice and a great assortment of nuts, seeds, oats and cranberries.

I could eat this straight up out of a jar as a snack all day long. But I also love it served with milk as a breakfast cereal or sprinkled over a bowl of yogurt or even ice cream!

Making your granola in your slow cooker is a different way that does not require you to heat up or use your oven but just like an oven recipe it does require a little “babysitting” as it needs to be stirred while it cooks.

Unlike cooking granola in your oven however it is harder to burn. I have had granola go from “just about there” to “oh gosh what is the smell” in a matter of minutes when making it in the oven.

That is why I prefer to cook my granola in the slow cooker….slow and low that is the way to go!

At least that is MY motto in life! 😉


Crock-Pot Pumpkin Pie Granola

PIN THIS RECIPE

Ingredients Needed:

  • Pumpkin Puree – You can use canned 100% pure pumpkin puree OR you can make your own homemade pumpkin puree right in your slow cooker.
  • Honey
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Ginger
  • Cloves
  • Kosher Salt – I prefer to cook and bake with kosher salt but if you just have table salt you can use that too.
  • Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – For this recipe use plain old fashioned rolled oats. Instant, quick cooking and steel cut oats will not work for this recipe.
  • Pecans – If you are on a nut free diet feel free to skip the pecans or substitute out something like sunflower seeds.
  • Shelled Pumpkin Seeds – These may also be called “Pepitas” in some grocery stores. Feel free to omit them or use shelled sunflower seeds if you cannot find pumpkin seeds.
  • Sweetened Dried Cranberries – You can also use raisins, golden raisins or currents.

Directions:

  1. Add pumpkin puree, honey, spices and salt to a 6 quart or larger slow cooker and mix well.
  2. Add oats, pecans and pumpkin seeds and stir well to coat in pumpkin mixture.
  3. Cover, but prop the lid open slightly with a chopstick or wooden spoon and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent granola from burning around the edges. Granola is done when no longer super sticky.
  4. Add dried cranberries and mix into granola.
  5. Pour granola out of slow cooker carefully onto a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with parchment or wax paper and allow to fully cool.
  6. Store prepared granola for up to 2 weeks in an air tight container.

Products Needed:

  • 6 Quart Slow Cooker (Or Larger)
  • Measuring Cups And Spoons
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Can Opener
  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

    Made this over the weekend and it is so yummy!!! It isn’t very crunchy though. Any suggestions on how to get that lovely granola crunch? Thanks!

      Mine was pretty dry and crunchy. Maybe if you cook it a little longer stirring occasionally.

    Are the oats “old-fashioned rolled oats” or “quick oats?” Thanks for posting easy crockpot recipes!

    tried it tonight and it burned. What did I do wrong? I stirred it about every 25-30 minutes. Ruined the whole batch. It sounds so good, but smells and tastes terrible when burned. So disappointed. I love pumpkin.

      I’m sorry your granola burned Barbie, your crock-pot may be running hot.

    This sounds totally amazing!! Seems like it might stick to the crock pot and be a bit of a clean-up project–hoping I’m totally wrong on that. 🙂

      It can. You can use a crock-pot liner bag if you prefer. I am a “soaker” so I let it soak and have no problem cleaning it up.

    I tried this and followed the recipe, cooked on low, stirred every 2o to 3o minutes, left top opened slightly. My granola turned brown, overcooked, and was still gummy. It did not look like your picture. I will stick with making this in the oven.

    […] Pumpkin Slow Cooker Granola:  FAIL. I was really gunning for this as I make homemade granola all the time and I get tired of sweeping all the little bits off my kitchen floor when I’m transferring it to various containers.  I will say one thing about this FAIL.  I used homemade pumpkin puree.  Maybe that’s why it came out gooey.  I also had it in for 1 hour and it started to burn (the recipe said HIGH for 4 hours).  Again, my slow cooker is SUPER OLD so maybe that’s why.  I’m bummed this didn’t work.
