Pumpkin Spice Granola
Adapted from petitchef.com & Greens and Chocolate
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup brown sugar/splenda blend
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup applesauce
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (not salted), chopped (food processor helps)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In large bowl, combine spices, salt, brown sugar, pumpkin, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add oats and stir to combine.
Spread onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, stir granola around on baking sheet. Sprinkle with nuts and bake 15 more minutes. If the granola is not completely done (most likely the middle of the sheet depending on the size of your baking sheet) stir around a little more and bake 5-10 more minutes. Keep close eye if baking the extra 5-10 minutes.
Cool on pan. After cool, add in dried fruit.
