Pumpkin Pie Granola

I know I have already done some pumpkin granola bars, but I wanted to try this pumpkin granola too.

In the last couple of years I have tried quite a few granola and granola bar recipes. This one definitely is the sweetest I have made, and it's the first with no nuts. It was really delicious (of course! with 1 cup of sugar, Teddy Grahams, and white chocolate chips, how could it not be?) but I think if it's something we're going to make all Fall long then I will have to modify the recipe to include some nuts and take out some of the sugar and snacks.


That being said, I was asked if we could stock it all Fall long. So we'll see.

The original recipe (with a beautiful picture) can be found here. If you love granola, go check it out. The site also includes S'mores Granola and Peanut Butter Cookie Granola.


Pumpkin Pie Granola

4 cups old fashioned oats
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cups pumpkin
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tbspn maple syrup

1 cup Mini Honey Teddy Grahams
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients. Use a spatula and mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the teddies and chips.

Spread onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper and sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake at 325 degrees for 60-80 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes. (I realize 60-80 minutes is a big time frame, just check it at 60 to see if you want it crunchier. If you do, stir it and go another 20 minutes.)

After the granola cooled, I added another 1/2 cup of the mini Teddy Grahams and another 1/2 cup of the white chocolate chips.



Enjoy!
