Spiced Delica Pumpkin Granola

Firstly, hurrah! The gourds are in season! Secondly, precise spicing that elevates sweet pumpkin flesh is notoriously, note - notoriously, delicious.

That said, we know that ‘Spiced Pumpkin’ has suffered a grammatical ill;

Once upon a time, in a land far away, ‘Spiced Pumpkin’ happily roamed the verb woods. These pumpkins were proudly spiced - a technical culinary effort, requiring both pumpkins and spices in order to exist.
Many years later, a wicked witch in the Big Apple took to a cauldron in an effort to dupe the spiced pumpkins and dilute their stoic verb status. Whizzed up with artificial flavours and milk, ladled into a big white cups, yielded by size 4 chunky-knit pink mittens and, with a little unintentional help from social media, the Spiced Pumpkin was sucked into the vortex of nouns.

Essentially, Spiced Pumpkin once reigned as a culinary verb. Actual pumpkins and actual spices, an actual delicacy. The recent noun-ificaton re-appropriates this magical combination to the likes of a £2 scented candle, shade of paint, even a seasonal detergent, often devoid of any pumpkin whatsoever!

Well, through the medium of granola, we challenge the new status quo and champion it’s heritage ‘verb’ status. We delight in how much actual pumpkin and actual spice we could pack into this granola.

Sweet pumpkin flesh meets toasted jumbo oats in honey-bound clusters, balanced with pumpkin seeds and a medley of fragrant spices - grated nutmeg, milled cinnamon, ground mace and more. To finish, ribbons of Delica pumpkin soaked in toasty coconut sugar and yet more spices infuse the blend with an aroma that simply couldn’t be duped.
