1/2 teaspoon salt (optional … skip this part if you're watching your sodium)

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the oats and nuts. Set aside.In a separate small bowl, mix the pumpkin, vanilla, molasses, maple syrup, spices, salt, flaxmeal and peanut butter. Microwave on high for a minute, stir, and then microwave 30 seconds more until the mixture is good and hot. (Or heat the mixture in a saucepan. Either way will work.)Pour the hot pumpkin mixture over the nutty oat mixture in the bowl. Stir it all up until it’s well mixed.Spread all this wonderful stuff out into a thin layer on a large jellyroll pan (or other big flat baking pan with an edge to it). Set it in the oven and bake for about an hour and 30 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. It should be browned to a lovely brown color and smelling fantastic. You can taste a little sample to see if it’s crunchy enough. If it’s not, bake it a little longer.Here is the hard part:Let the granola cool COMPLETELY before stirring in the chocolate chips.
