    Nutella and Pumpkin Granola baked in a Slow Cooker - your new favorite way to make delicious granola! You will love the combination of pumpkin and Nutella! 

    Pumpkin Nutella Slow Cooker Granola

    Few months ago, my friend Kristen from Dine and Dish shared a recipe for granola made in a slow cooker. It totally blew my mind. You are telling me I can bake my granola in a slow cooker? Woah! That needed to happen! Then Hamilton Beach sent me their new slow cooker to try and I knew that I wanted to try the granola as soon as possible. (By the way, read on to learn how you can enter to win one for yourself!)

    Friends, this is crazy good and incredibly handy! I can't tell you how many times I burnt my granola in the oven. The slow cooker way is truly ideal! I can set it and know it will be perfect in the end. In the meantime, I can use the oven to bake muffins or a cake.

    Since then, I made few batches with different flavor combos and my granola jar is never empty. I love granola with my morning yogurt or simply as a snack. For today's recipe I am sticking with my new obsession: pumpkin and Nutella combo. So good! These muffins are proof!

    Slow Cooker Granola

    Chocolate and pumpkin go so well together! It's a perfect seasonal dish and has a ton of flavor. Besides, it's chocolate for breakfast!

    Yes, you have my permission. 🙂

    I gave the slow cooker a little break from all of the fall soups I have been making these past few weeks and made this granola. It's safe to say that it's one of my favorites so far. Besides the fact that it's all-just-mix-in-a-bowl recipe and it makes a great amount that will last you for a while, depending on how often you will eat it. It is also a great way to use up the leftover pumpkin puree that we happen to always have. Most pumpkin recipes use a cup of the puree. Before you know it, you end up with leftover that you don't want to waste. This recipe uses ¼ cup so it's perfect! The pumpkin pie spices are where the flavor lays and of course, the chocolaty and sweet Nutella.

      My teenaged son saw this recipe and immediately wanted to make it. We just put this in the crock pot. All out of pumpkin puree, we subbed pumpkin butter, cut out half the oil and all the spices.

      Do you think I can substitute the vegetable for coconut oil? Also, do you think I could use a crock pot liner?

        Hi Jeannine! Yes, coconut oil will work just fine. I have never used a slow cooker liner. The granola has to be stirred once in a while and I am afraid the liner will make it difficult. Hope this helps! Thank you!

      OMG, I feel like I'm being let in on a secret! Slow cooker granola?! I need to try it. ASAP. I made granola this weekend and totally burned it cause I was distracted and left the oven temp on too high. So...I'm currently having a granola shortage, which means I need to try making this ASAP! And I also happen to have pumpkin in my fridge right now. Pinned!

      Oh wow! I'm in. I love to make granola, but yes -- it takes vigilance and attention. Two things I rarely have with three kids running around.
      I have to try this!
