• 0.25 cup neutral oil
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 325°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. (about 5 min) — 325°F
2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, pecans, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and oil, then mix until the oats and pecans are evenly coated. (about 5 min)
3. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly to encourage clusters. (about 2 min) — 325°F
4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, stir once, then continue baking for 15 to 17 minutes, until the granola is golden and feels mostly dry at the edges. (about 35 min) — 325°F
5. Cool completely on the baking sheet, about 45 minutes, before breaking into clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. (about 45 min)
