By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• * 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
• * 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• * 1/4 cup canola oil
• * 2 Tbs honey
• * 3 cups old-fashioned oats
• * 1/3 cup flax seeds
• * 1/2 cup pepitas
• * 1/2 cup whole almonds
• * 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
• * 2/3 cup coconut
• * 2 Tbs cinnamon
• * 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• * 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• * 1 tsp salt
• * 1/3 cup golden raisins
• * 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• * 1 cup chopped dried figs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, maple syrup, oil, and honey. Add the oats, flax, pepitas, almonds, sunflower seeds, coconut, and spices, and mix well to combine.

Transfer to the baking sheet and spread to distribute the mixture to a uniform thickness. Cook 30-40 minutes, stirring the granola every 10 minutes, until golden-brown and crispy.

Allow to cool to room temperature, and mix in the dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.
