Crunchy and nutty pumpkin spice granola, sweetened with maple syrup and a touch of brown sugar and loaded with all the flavors of fall.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"PumpkinPumpkin spice is all the rage this time of year but this pumpkin spice granola is so good, it should be enjoyed all year long. Many recipes contain pumpkin puree, but I found pumpkin puree didn\u2019t add much flavor and made the granola lose its crunch. Also, if you stored it for more than a day, it became soft and gummy. Not what I was looking for in a pumpkin spice granola - or any granola<\/a> for that matter.<\/p>\n

All you need to add that pumpkin spice flavor is - well you've guessed it - pumpkin spice. You can make your own pumpkin spice<\/a>\u00a0or use store-bought<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DryThis recipe has a combination of oats, pepitas, pecans, maple syrup and pumpkin spice. I added puffed rice cereal for added crunch. I like to use a combination of whole oats and quick oats. Rolled oats give that familiar granola look but the quick oats add some volume and makes it easier to chew. Adding pure maple syrup and just a touch of brown sugar is just enough sweetener to make it addictive and also the secret to creating chunks.<\/p>\n
