Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour a Bundt pan (I suppose you could use 2 loaf pans)
Blend together the dry ingredients in a large bowl:
* 3 cups flour
* ½ teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1½ tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
* ½ teaspoon salt
In a mixer, combine:
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 cup vegetable oil
* 3 eggs
* 2 cups roasted butternut squash
Once the wet stuff is well-combined, slowly add the dry ingredients. When it’s mixed, fold in
* 2 cups granola (I make one similar to this one, but different, of course 
)
Spoon the batter into the pan. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove it from oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely on the rack before slicing.
In the end you get a large, dense, cakey bread, which is very, very tasty. (Plagioclase likes it with butter on it.) I’ll probably never be able to do it the same again, but I’ll be sure to try.
