HOW DO I MAKE GINGERBREAD GRANOLA?
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
STEP 2: In a large bowl combine your oats, nuts and seeds.
STEP 3: Add your coconut oil, maple syrup and molasses. Stir well so that everything is coated.
STEP 4: Spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet.
STEP 5: Top with the remaining dry seasonings. (I like to do this, instead of tossing in a bowl, so that the seasonings don't get left stuck to the bowl.)
STEP 6: Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, stirring often. Once the granola is slightly golden brown, remove and let cool on pan. It will become more crunchy as it cools.
