Pumpkin Granola Bark
This pumpkin granola bark may be one of my new favorite snacks/treats to make. I was inspired after picking up a bag of the Pumpkin Granola Bark from Trader Joe’s and instantly being obsessed with it. I didn’t love all the ingredients in it, so I thought I would make my own! This version is a little different because it’s filled with more nuts and even better–I know all the ingredients that went into it! I hope you love it!
What you need to make Pumpkin Granola Bark:
- Almonds
- Walnuts
- Pecans
- Quinoa
- Maple syrup
- Brown Coconut Sugar
- Pumpkin Puree

- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg

Best ways to enjoy this pumpkin granola bark:

Recipe tip: if you want to make this more like a granola to have for the week, just leave off the chocolate! Make everything according to the directions until it’s time to put on the chocolate. Just place in the freezer to freeze before breaking into pieces! I love to make it and use it in yogurt bowls, etc.
Save and Pin for later!
