Notes
Use Rolled Oats: Use rolled oats also known as old-fashioned oats as they provide a nice texture and absorb flavours well.
Use Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper/greaseproof paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent granola from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Even Coating: Make sure the pumpkin mixture thoroughly coats the oats. Mix well to ensure everything is well combined.
Low and Slow Baking: Bake your granola at a lower temperature (around 290°F or 140°C) and for a longer time. This prevents burning and allows flavours to develop gradually.
Stirring During Baking: While baking, be sure to stir the granola halfway through to ensure even baking.
