homemade lowfat granola

Granola (makes approx. 9 servings)

2 c nuts of your choice
1 cup raisins or craisins
1 c maple syrup (I use sugar free, 10 calories per ¼ c_
1 T pumpkin pie spice

In a large bowl, thoroughly blend oats, nuts, maple syrup and spices. Place on baking sheet and toast in a preheated 350 degree oven for twenty minutes, stirring mixture 2 or 3 times during process (I toast longer because I like it crunchy). Let cool and add raisins, mixing them through the mixture thoroughly. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks…
