This was the perfect use for the last of the can of pumpkin that I had used for Recipe#489410. I love pumpkin granola, but it's so expensive to buy at Whole Foods, so it's nice to now have a recipe that I can use to make it at home. Just for kicks, I added a handful of pumpkin spice almonds to the mix before baking. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2013
