Pumpkin Spice Granola
I love fall. I'm sure I've said it before. And I'm sure I sound like every other blogger/millennial woman. But I've always loved all things fall. And this pumpkin spice granola is just a little bit of heavenly fall. I love that it's not loaded with sugar and it has both simplicity and depth of flavor. When I made my mom try a pinch of it, her reaction was "OH! That's good. Give me a bowl." She then scolded me for not making enough to leave a gallon bag for her. So basically you need to make this recipe. And make sure to make extra for your mom.
