Pumpkin Spice Granola [Video]

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. In a medium saucepan, add pumpkin brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and coconut oil (or vegetable oil).
3. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring frequently.
4. Remove from the heat, add vanilla extract and set aside.
5. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. In a large bowl, add the oats, flour, pecans and flax seeds and toss together.
7. Add the pumpkin mixture and stir until every bit of the dry ingredients have been coated.
8. Spread the granola onto a sheet pan and spread it into a thin layer. You don't want to pile it on too much because then you won't get crunchy granola. Bake for about 40 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes to prevent burning.
9. When the granola is done, remove from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes, because that will also help the crunch factor.
10. Sprinkle over yogurt, eat it as a snack, or make a good ole bowl of cereal! Whatever you decide, enjoy!
