Wholesome Halloween granola

Makes: About 6 cups

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

3/4 cup pumpkin seeds

3/4 cup chopped almonds

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, store-bought or homemade

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup olive oil or coconut oil

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 300 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

2. Put oats, pumpkin seeds, almonds, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine; set aside.

3. Whisk together the oil, maple syrup, pumpkin puree and vanilla in a medium bowl until well-combined. Pour over the oat mixture and stir until the oats are fully coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.

4. Bake until golden brown and starting to crisp, 40 to 45 minutes total, stirring once about halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheet. Transfer to a clean, dry bowl; break into clusters and stir in the dried cranberries and chocolate chips.
