A hearty, healthy granola perfect with vanilla yogurt or just by the handful.
Ingredients
  • 2 ½ Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats)
  • ¾ cup raw chopped almonds or pecans
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, cinnamon, ginger, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree and whisk to combine. Add the oats and pecans, and stir until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the mixture on the baking sheet, keeping some of the clusters of oats and nuts intact so that the finished granola will have some chunks. Bake the granola, stirring every so often by scooping the mixture from the edges of the pan toward the middle and spreading it evenly again, until dry and light brown in colour, 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely at room temperature before storing. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
