What If I Don’t Have Maple Syrup?
This pumpkin spice granola recipe works perfectly with maple syrup, honey, or regular sugar. We have tried this recipe with all of these sweeteners. We love the flavor the maple syrup adds and it helps bind the granola together. Also, it makes it crunchy. Monk fruit will not work in this recipe because it makes the granola chewy rather than crunchy.
Use Rolled Oats For Pumpkin Granola
