Get ready for a slew of pumpkin recipes folks, this is my FAVORITE time of year 🙂

My kitchen smells sooooo amazingly good right now and it’s all because of this Pumpkin Spice Granola! I have been working on several versions of this recipe and finally…it’s just about perfect (if I do say so myself). Of course you can customize this one to include your favorite ingredients, but I wanted something that just speaks “fall” and I think it does.

It’s really simple to make. We mixed the dry ingredients such as old-fashioned oats and spices in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another and once combined, folded in the cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Spread evenly on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and stir frequently. Ours took about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before storing.

This is a loose granola, so you can use it to top yogurt … or just eat it straight. I didn’t even wait for it to cool before I was sampling it.

In the end, I added a few extra pumpkin seeds. I might increase the quantity of pumpkin seeds to 1/3 C in the recipe when I make it again.
