Super Chunk Gingerbread Granola

Ingredients

  • cup / 80ml expeller-pressed coconut oil sub with ghee
  • zest of 1 orange
  • cup / 85ml pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup / 60ml smooth unsweetened almond butter
  • ¼ cup / 60ml blackstrap molasses
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp. ground ginger
  • 1 heaping tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground clove
  • 1 tsp. fine sea salt
  • 3 cups / 300g rolled oats gluten-free if necessary
  • 1 ½ cups / 70g large coconut flakes
  • ½ cup / 70g pecans
  • ¾ cup / 75g walnuts
  • ½ cup / 75g dried cranberries preferably juice-sweetened
  • ½ cup / 75g candied ginger

Instructions

  • Directions:
  • Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add the orange zest. Let infuse for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the maple syrup, almond butter, molasses, and vanilla until fully incorporated. Add the ginger, cinnamon, clove, and salt and fold to combine.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, coconut, pecans, and walnuts. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Fold to combine until everything is evenly coated. Lastly, roughly chop the ginger and cranberries and stir them into the mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 275°F / 135°C. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Spread the mixture evenly across both baking sheets, using the back of a greased spatula or your hands to flatten it. It’s important that you really press and compact the ingredients together so that they’ll bake into a solid slab.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before breaking the slabs into the size of your choice for storage. Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month.
