Healthier Pumpkin Granola

Granola is so easy to make yourself.  Once you try it you’ll never go back.  You can customize it any way you like and take comfort in knowing exactly what is in it.   I am a lover of all things pumpkin, not so much the weather that comes with pumpkin season, but definitely the foods and flavors.  I wanted to make a pumpkin granola for our breakfasts and snacks for the week but couldn’t find quite the right recipe, so I adapted an old one from Budget Bytes to create this gem.  Enjoy!
