Soooo I totally jumped on the pumpkin spice band wagon and made pumpkin spice granola.  While it’s still in the high 80’s here in Dallas I am trying my hardest to get in the fall spirit.  Fall is the one season I miss the most since moving from the Northeast to the south. Nothing like fresh apple picking, the leaves changing,  and going to a real pumpkin patch.

Anyway back to the granola… This stuff is seriously amazing! I love the blend of the nuts with the pumpkin seeds and the little sweetness the chocolate chips add.

I stored the granola in an airtight container and we have been munching on it all week!
