Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- 3/4 cup chopped candied pecans (I used Trader joe spicy ones)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (check the label - make sure it's pumpkin and not squash)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
-
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
-
Spread it all out in an even single layer onto a parchment line baking sheet.
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
-
Bake the granola for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice.
-
Turn the oven off and let the granola cool in the oven. If you have an electric oven, keep the door ajar. They do not cool as fast as a gas oven.
-
After it's cooled, put it in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 months.
