Ingredients:
- 3 cups (300 g) old-fashioned gluten-free rolled oats
- 3/4 cup (75 g) pecan halves
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pinch cloves
- 1/2 cup (135 g) pure pumpkin purée, such as Libby’s
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) maple syrup
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) vegetable oil, such as canola or rice bran
- 1/4 cup (54 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup (80 g) dried cranberries, optional - see Tips
Preparation:
-
Position rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 325°F/165°C. Have ready a rimmed baking sheet pan and set aside.
-
Stir together the oats, pecans, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt and cloves in a mixing bowl until combined.
-
In a separate bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, oil, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth and combined.
-
Stir together the wet and dry mixtures with a firm wooden spoon until everything is mixed well. Or do what we do and dump everything in bowl of stand mixer and use a flat paddle to mix ingredients on low speed until combined.
-
Scrape out onto pan in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then toss granola around with a large spatula to rotate all surfaces so that the granola bakes evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes more or until just beginning to take on a hint of color and you begin to smell the ridiculously toasty and enticing aromas. Cool pan on rack. Store at room temperature in airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

Tips
- You could try adding a few dried cranberries if you like, but remember that they add to the Oligos load.
