Ever just want to make homemade granola – but for one? I love making granola at home, it just hits different. But, in my house, I am the only one who eats granola, so sometimes I want something that makes just enough for myself, without leftovers. With that in mind, I created this SINGLE SERVE GRAIN FREE PUMPKIN SPICE GRANOLA! It’s a mouth full, but its DELICIOUS!
This granola is SO easy to make, and doesn’t even require an oven. I’ve seen other people make skillet granola before and have always been intrigued. So I decided to try it out and I am SO glad I did! But why am I surprised, anything cooked in a cast iron skillet always turns out better!
Okay, let’s get to the granola! This granola is grain free, can be customized how you like it, and can be made in about 10-15 minutes. I kept it grain free by using quinoa flakes instead of oats, but if you don’t need grain free, go ahead and use some oatmeal instead. The other parts of this granola are made up of my favorite nuts – almonds, pecans, walnuts – but again, this is customizable, so use whatever your favorite nuts are!
With the flavor, I decided to go with pumpkin spice, just because we are in Fall, but I bet this would be so good with cinnamon sugar, or maybe even cocoa powder! I’ll have to try that next!
