Gingerbread Granola
Easy, homemade granola spiced with all things gingerbread!
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats for extra crunch, but quick oats work too
- ½ cup chopped almonds or any preferred nuts
- ¼ cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter for a twist
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil avocado oil also works
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp flaxseeds or chia seeds optional for added nutrition
- ¼ cup dried cranberries or raisins optional, add after baking
- ¼ cup shredded coconut optional, for a tropical twist
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep – Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt & Mix – In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, then add vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients – In the same bowl, mix in oats, nuts, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and optional seeds. Stir well to coat evenly.
- Spread & Bake – Evenly spread the granola on the baking sheet, keeping some clusters intact for larger chunks. Bake for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Cool & Enjoy – Let the granola cool completely (it will harden as it cools). Stir in dried fruit and shredded coconut if using, then store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
