Pumpkin Spice Granola

• 1/2 cups Maple Syrup
• 2 Tablespoons Agave Syrup Or Honey
• 3 Tablespoons Canned Pumpkin Puree
• 2-1/4 cups Oats
• 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1/8 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
• 1 pinch Ground Cloves
• 1 cup Slivered Almonds
• 1 cup Dried Cherries
• 1/2 cups Pumpkin Seeds

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Into a measuring cup add the maple syrup, agave syrup or honey and pumpkin puree. I'm sure pumpkin pie filling would work too but you might have to adjust the spices. Use a fork and stir to blend. Set aside.
2. In a separate large bowl, add the oats and all the spices. Stir it around a little to mix the spices into the oats. Then add the almonds or your favorite nuts, the dried cherries (or whatever dried fruit you want) and the pumpkin seeds. Stir around to combine.
3. Pour the syrup mixture over the oat mixture. Divide the granola mixture onto two cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 325 F, stirring every 5-10 minutes until lightly toasted. It should take about 20-30 minutes. Do not over bake! Remove pans from oven.
4. Remove the granola from the cookie sheets to cool. I just grab the parchment paper by the corners and place on my counter. When cooled, store in a tightly sealed container.
