This crisp, cluster-y granola has a delightful fall twist of pumpkin, white chocolate, dried cranberries, and plenty of spice.—You’ll want to eat it by the handful!

Pumpkin everything. It’s an addiction, guys.

It’s also just a way of life. And after this last weekend of summer coming up at a high-rate of speed, (4-day weekend for yours truly = yaay!) you won’t even have any excuse to say no to the whooooole pumpkin shebang.

Let’s just pretend that I didn’t kinda break a major rule on Tuesday and post a pumpkin recipe before Labor Day weekend??

Ooooops..

And let’s ignore the fact that I’m pretty much doing the same thing today. I can’t resist, guys! You KNOW about me and granola. We have a looooong, steady, and ever-present relationship.

Put pumpkin in the same sentence? Well, I think you just KNOW we have a new addiction to add to the granola heap.

A legit granola heap, guys. It’s slightly overwhelming…

And let me state for the record: Pumpkin + white chocolate + dried cranberries = the fall-flavored granola heaven to beat ’em ALL!

This granola pretty much tastes like ALL the best things about fall just got dumped into one pan: Obviously, there’s tons of pumpkin ‘n’ spice flavors, soft dried cranberries and white chocolate are hangin’ out with it all, and need I even mention how INCREDIBLE it’s going to make your kitchen smell while it bakes??

Let’s be honest here, friends. This granola is a work of pumpkin ART.

So here’s the deal-io, guys. You. This granola. Your breakfast this weekend. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

The options are endless as far as ways to savor this granola: The good ‘ol classic way with milk, in between layers of vanilla yogurt, (my family’s personal fav) and of course, there IS the never-fail option of eating it straight off the baking sheet…

You know I’m always happy to assist you guys with an impressive variety of options. 😉

This granola just makes my heart happy. And possibly even more-so in the tastebud department.

Look at those clusters. I’m positive they’re screaming EAT ME!!

I won’t ignore.

My bowl of pumpkin-y perfection is looking pretty lovely this morning…♥

We should probably start eating now. 😀
