Step 1

In a large, microwave-safe mug or regular-size cereal bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, seeds, pumpkin spice, and salt.

Step 2

Drizzle in the oil and maple syrup, and stir everything very well so that the dry ingredients are fully coated.

Step 3

Note: You may find that you need more or less time depending on your microwave (mine is 1100 watts). Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave for 20 seconds and stir again. Microwave for another 20 to 30 seconds, stir, then place on the counter to cool. Tip: The granola can burn quickly during the final few seconds of cooking. It should be barely soft/chewy, but after you let it rest for 1 minute it should become crunchy. It it's still chewy after resting you'll want to experiment with adding more time.
