Put the pecans, pepitas, shredded coconut, almond flour, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl and mix them together

In a different bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract with a whisk

You can also use honey instead of maple syrup

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and mix them together until everything is well coated

The granola should be golden brown and smell good after 20 to 25 minutes of baking, with a stir every five minutes
