Granola is a hearty and healthy snack but unfortunately frequently laden with extra sugar, preservatives and added flavors. Try this homemade version prepared with pure maple syrup, pumpkin puree and a wide array of natural spices.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped raw or slivered almonds
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup pepitas
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
Place the rolled oats, almond, walnuts, pepitas, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and allspice into a bowl and toss to combine.
Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla, maple syrup and cranberries to the oat mixture and stir well until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spread into an even layer and then place in the oven for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
