I posted this recipe in another thread and it generated some interest, so I thought I would share. This recipe still has some added fat, but way less than anything that you find in the store. You can added different fruits or nuts if you want, I'm just allergic to many of them so I leave them out.

Maple Pumpkin Granola
adapted from Sugar Plum

1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
1/4-1/2 cup Craisins
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat a large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together, pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, vanilla and salt until combined; stir in oats and sunflower seeds until combined. Spread onto cookie sheet.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove from oven and stir in craisins and cool.
