    Is it weird that it's my birthday and I would rather have this pumpkin bread granola than a slice of cake?

    I am what would be classified as a super fan when it comes to granola. I eat it in some way, form or fashion at least once per day. If I don't have homemade on hand - I have a rotation of store bought granolas that can fill the gap for me, but let's face it homemade is always better.

    About the only time I have a problem deciding between my normal granola laden breakfast and something else is in the fall. Pumpkin loaf is my fall obsession, I could seriously eat it all day, every day and never, ever get tired of it!

    After a few days of debating what to have for breakfast last week and not being truly satisfied until I had eaten both of my favorite things I decided to combine the two and make a granola that had everything I love about pumpkin loaf in it too. I even threw in my favorite Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips, because you can't go wrong with chocolate as far as I am concerned.

    If you’ve made this Pumpkin Bread Granola I would be so grateful if you would rate the recipe and let me know what you think in the comments below, I just love hearing from you and your reviews and comments really help others that visit This Mess is Ours.

        Trader Joe's has their version of pumpkin butter which I love, but usually you can find it in the jam and jelly aisle of teh grocery.

          You can usually find pumpkin butter in the jam and jelly aisle during the fall season. I used Trader Joe's brand pumpkin butter.
