Pumpkin Spice Latte Granola

Pumpkin Spice Latte Granola: Embrace October with Cozy Crunch

October is here, and the cool breeze is starting to settle in! Mornings are crisp, and that cozy feeling of fall is all around. There’s nothing quite like a warm cup of coffee to start the day—except maybe my Pumpkin Spice Latte Granola! This recipe perfectly captures those fall flavors we love: the warming spices, the hint of sweetness, and a little kick of espresso to energize your mornings.

Last weekend, we took a trip to Canmore to catch the larches before the cold fully sets in, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The golden trees were in full glow, and it felt like the perfect way to enjoy the season before winter comes. Now, we’re back home, and this granola is exactly what I need to keep those cozy, mountain vibes going through the week.
