It's football Season....and fall is fast approaching!

With fall fast approaching(I didn't think we would survive the crazy heat of the summer but we did woo hoo) and football season upon us, what better recipe to have than one that is something to munch on during the game and pumpkin flavored?! Here is a great little gem that is so easy to make and super yummy! And let me tell you, its superb on ice cream(oh ya) or in some Greek yogurt for breakfast if you want to go a more healthy route but also great alone as a snack.....however Beware: Addiction is upon you!!!

4 cups	Old fashioned rolled oats (use gluten free if your sensitive to gluten)
2 tsp	Ground cinnamon
1 tsp	Pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup	Baking stevia OR 1 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar 1
1/2 tsp	Salt
1 tsp	Baking powder
3/4 cups	Pumpkin
1/2 cup	Applesauce (unsweetened)
3 tbs	Sugar free maple syrup (or honey or agave nectar)
Optional	Add-ins: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup honey teddy grahams lightly crushed

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups Old fashioned rolled oats (use gluten free if your sensitive to gluten)

 2 tsp Ground cinnamon

1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice

1/2 cup Baking stevia OR 1 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar 

1/2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Baking powder

3/4 cups Pumpkin

1/2 cup Applesauce (unsweetened)

 3 tbs Sugar free maple syrup (or honey or agave nectar)

Optional Add-ins: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup honey teddy grahams lightly crushed, 1 cup of nuts

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry using a spatula, (or your hands), until everything is well combined and oats are coated with wet ingredients.

Place granola on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, then stir granola around. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and is crisp. Take the granola out of the oven, and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. Stir in additional white chocolate chips or teddy grahams at this point if desired. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
