Delicious and Easy Spiced Granola

I recently took a jar of this goodness over to my sister-in-law Meredith and she called me on my way home asking for the recipe! It’s so good, extremely easy, and VERY versatile.

Can I tell you some good news? It really is pretty hard to ruin granola. Use any nut you like. Use muesli or oats. Craisins or raisins. Be free, go wild! I will say, DON’T LEAVE OUT THE GINGER! It adds the most amazing flavor and spice.

SPICED GRANOLA INGREDIENTS:

DRY INGREDIENTS

• Old-fashioned oats or muesli
• Chopped pecans
• Chopped almonds (I used the sliced kind from @traderjoes)
• Chopped walnuts
• Raw pumpkin seeds (optional)
• Cinnamon
• Ginger
• Kosher salt
• Chia seeds (optional)
• Hemp hearts (optional)
• Organic raisins (omit this if you use muesli since muesli contains raisins)
• Shredded coconut (optional but we LOVE it!)

WET INGREDIENTS

• Melted coconut oil
• Honey
• Molasses (if you don’t have molasses, just double the honey)
• Maple syrup (optional)
• Vanilla

HOW TO MAKE SPICED GRANOLA:

• STEP 1: Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
• STEP 2: Mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl
• STEP 3: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir well.
• STEP 4: Lay out in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined large baking sheet — the biggest sheet you’ve got! If you don’t have a large sheet pan, I suggest splitting this between 2 pans. Maybe rotate them halfway through as to which one is on top and which is on the bottom.
• STEP 5: Bake at 275°F for 1 hour (if you know you’ve got an especially hot oven, cook at 250°F).
• STEP 6: Remove and let cool thoroughly (the mix will look very wet; allow ample time to cool/dry).
• STEP 7: Store in an airtight container and enjoy for weeks!!

Let me know if you make this! Hope you enjoy.
