    Disclaimer: I was compensated by SunMaid to create this recipe. However, like always, the opinions are entirely my own. Promise 🙂

    I love so many things about this time of year, but the my favorite just might be all of the smells.    I love pumpkin, cinnamon and the other "spices".  If you want to make your house smell AMAZING, make this recipe.

    If you are looking for some more healthy fall recipes, you will love these Slow Cooker White Chocolate Chip Bars, No Bake Healthy Pumpkin Donut Holes and this Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate!

    All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!

    Why You Should Make This Pumpkin Quinoa Granola

    I made a point of making this granola with only wholesome, quality ingredients. I decided to use both golden and regular raisins in this granola and it came out perfect.  

    I love adding quinoa for the perfect crunchy texture as well as the added plant-based protein.

    I've made it a few times now and once I even forgot to add the coconut oil (oops!) and it still came out great.  I think the coconut oil helps to make it crunchy though.  

    Say goodbye to the store bought granolas that are filled with unnecessary ingredients, fat and sodium.  This one is delicious and nutritious.  So yes, you can have a second serving!

    I love the fact that you literally put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker (except the raisins and nuts), cook, stir to combine and that's it!  This is my kind of recipe because these days are getting too busy (and too short!)

    Recipe Tips

    You can easily substitute another dried fruit for raisins if you'd like. I made this with unsweetened dried cranberries and it was delicious!

    You can also use whatever sliced nuts and seeds that you have in the house. Every time I make this pumpkin quinoa granola I use a variety of nuts and seeds.

    Right when the granola is cooled, I like to put into portion-controlled plastic bags or containers so that I can easily take one out to enjoy with my yogurt or an on-the-go snack. This helps to prevent mindless overeating too.
