Large clusters of gingerbread granola packed cozy spices like ground cinnamon, ginger and cloves! This is a simple recipe all mixed in one bowl and baked! Delicious by itself, with milk or on top of your waffles/pancakes!
I’ve been making lots of baked goods and snacks with gingerbread flavors because during this winter season, I crave those cozy spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg more than ever!
I recently made Gingerbread Muffins and Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies with Cinnamon Icing which are both recipes I highly recommend!
If you’re looking for a delicious granola to make at home, this is the one for you! When done baking, it becomes a huge sheet of granola you break apart! I like to leave some parts in large clusters 🙂
Packed with a medley of nuts – I used crushed walnuts and pecans but you can use whatever you’d like! I’ve tried it with sliced almonds, whole almonds and peanuts too!

Ohh this sound delicious! Would olive oil work instead of coconut oil?

This looks so good! What a great combination of flavors!
Pam @ Read! Bake! Create!
I would love to try this, but we have a serious nut allergy in the house. Do you think it would still be as delicious without the nuts?

You could sub sunflower seeds or pepitas for the nuts.
