Fall is officially here and that crisp, cool autumn air has me craving warm, hearty fare, in this case, a fresh batch of homemade fall harvest granola. This hearty granola is packed with super foods like rolled oats, chia seeds, raw honey, and dried fruit.
Granola is a blank canvas for a healthy, wholesome breakfast for the family. All you need to prepare it is a simple base of oats (I like to mix quick and rolled oats for the perfect combination of flaky and clustered texture), some oil or butter, and sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup.
I’m a fan of granola-regardless of the time of year, and its always a staple item in my pantry since it’s a healthy and quick go-to breakfast or snack for the family.
This fall harvest granola is full of warm and earthy autumn-inspired flavours, like pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin seeds, and nutty oats.
Don’t let the long ingredient list fool you. Homemade granola takes only a few minutes to prepare before popping it into the oven. And nothing beats the aroma of granola roasting in the oven!
When it comes to granola recipes, I always make a huge batch since it usually goes fast in my home. What’s more, it has a long shelf-life and can be served and eaten in a variety of ways-mix it with yogurt or fruit, add as a crunchy topping to pancakes or crepes, or simply eat by the spoonful!
If you try this recipe (and love it!) be sure to snap a pic and tag me on Instagram with #bitesforfoodies so I can see your creation!
I can eat oats like this but not cooked! I love the crunch over the mush! lol
I also prefer them cooked…I love that crunch!
I love a good granola recipe! This looks delish I need to recreate this!
Thanks!
My 5 year old loves granola with his yogurt in the morning, he would be all over this for the dried cherries
My kids LOVE dried cherries…and one of their favourite things is granola and yogurt!
I am on a granola kick right now, in fact I have always enjoyed a good granola
I actually didn’t enjoy granola during my childhood…I’m making up for it now 😉
This fall harvest granola looks so good. My family love granola everything but I have never made it before. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
It’s SO easy to make!
I will for sure be making this! I’ve always bought store brand granola, but it is probably cheaper to do this route.
Great! Yes, it is cheaper…and healthier!
That looks might tasty. I am going to try this for the kids because I’m always trying to get them to eat better and healthier.
I think they will love this!
Yum, now that’s my kind of eats. I’d love to have this for breakfast.
It’s definitely a hearty and easy to prepare in advance breakfast!
I like granola because it is rich in fiber. It’s also has just the right amount of tastiness.
I’ve been trying to eat healthier and have tried some new things. Making granola will be added to the list. This looks really good!
oh yum! i was just saying how i needed some granola to go in my fancy yogurt i got today. this would be so perfect!
What a coincidence!
I need to go make some of this right now. I love homemade granola. It’s amazing and I will never buy it premade again.
Lol, that’s nice to hear! I agree 😉
I have never made homemade granola before! This sounds like an awesome recipe to try it, I think my kids would love it!
I bet if you make your own you’ll never buy pre-packaged granola again!
I love homemade granola! It’s so much better than storebought. I’ll give this recipe a go next time I’m making a batch.
I’d love to hear what you think of the recipe!
I LOVE granola, but I only have one granola recipe! Thanks for this! A sweet fall treat. 🙂

I’ve been looking for a great recipe like yours. My kids love granola on their yogurts. So delicious!

That Fall Harvest Granola sure does look yummy! I LOVE granola (especially with yogurt.) I love making my own so I can make it just now I like it <3
I agree, it’s fun to play with different flavours.
Oh my gosh this looks so good! I have to make my own granola because I’m allergic to nuts. It seems like every kind at the store has nuts in them. I will have to try this!
Thank you! You have to try this!!
I’m a huge fan of granola for breakfast. It is so filling and so good. I never thought to make my own.
Yum, yum, YUM! I love pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and especially cherries in my granola. This recipe sounds outrageously good.
I make coconut pumpkin granola often but this has become my new fave!
Can’t wait to try your homemade granola recipe. Thank you!

Granola is awesome. It’s really easy to make. I LOVE your addition of pumpkin seeds!
I sometimes add salted pumpkin seeds for a savoury/sweet variation!
Homemade granola is so much better than store bought. Your Fall Harvest Granola has some of my favorite things – oats, dried cherries, pumpkin seeds. I plan to make this soon!
I agree…and thanks 😉
