My obsession with Pumpkin continues – and it ain’t over yet folks! I got more comin’ up after this!

I’ve been making homemade granola for years.  I love it mixed in my yogurt and it makes great gifts when put in little cellophane bags or Mason jars.  The store bought stuff is just too high in fat and sugar.  This granola is a less sweet variety.  The pumpkin puree provides the moisture and the brown sugar, honey and maple syrup sweeten it up.    The flaxseed is flavorless but adds that heart healthy touch you expect from a good granola.  Make sure and get ground flaxseed.  Whole flaxseed will just go right though with no fiber results whatsoever.  Dr. Oz said so, so I know this to be true….

NOTES to make Pumpkin Pie Spice Granola:

You can use most any whole oat for this recipe.  I got mine at Trader Joes – Simply called Trader Joes Rolled Oats.  It’s a big old bag for super cheap.  I’ve also used Bob Mills Mulit Grain Cereal.  It has several kind of oats and grains in it. Wheat germ can be substituted for the flaxseed or you can omit completely – it won’t change the outcome of the recipe.

Makes lots so you can share!

Author: Kathi & Rachel

Ingredients

  • 5 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice blend
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or other dried fruit
  • 1 cup toasted nuts I used almonds because thats what I had on hand but pecans would be great

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Mix all ingredients except dried cranberries and toasted nuts on a large baking sheet.
  • Mix really well - at first it might seem a bit dry but keep on digging deep and mixing - it will come together to form a slightly moist mixture. If you can't get there...add a bit more pumpkin puree.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • It should be slightly moist to the touch when you take it out of the oven. It will crisp up as it cools.

    I can’t wait to make this! Granola is my favorite afternoon snack – with some Greek yogurt and fruit. FYI- on this one thing, Dr. Oz actually was correct 🙂
