Ingredients:

  • 3 1/4 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 3/4 cups mixed raw nuts
  • 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger

Directions:

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325 degrees F. While it warms up, gather your ingredients and a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In the large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, mixed raw nuts, organic cane sugar, sea salt, cinnamon, and just a hint of ground cloves. Stir them together, allowing the spices to intermingle, teasing your senses with the promise of gingerbread goodness.
  3. Warm & Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over gentle heat, let the melted butter, maple syrup, molasses, and freshly grated ginger mingle and meld into a harmonious blend. Stir occasionally, allowing the fragrant aroma of ginger and molasses to permeate your kitchen.
  4. Blend & Bake: Once the wet mixture is well combined, pour it over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir, fold, and blend until every oat and nut is glistening with the ginger-infused mixture. Spread this aromatic blend evenly onto a large baking sheet.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Slide your soon-to-be-granola into the oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes. Remember to give it a gentle stir around the halfway mark, ensuring every corner gets that golden hue.
  6. Cool & Store: Once done, take it out and let it cool completely on the pan. This is the moment when the flavors settle and meld, creating that irresistible gingerbread essence. Once cool, store it in an airtight container, where it will patiently wait, ready to bring joy for several weeks to come.
