We all know I “have a thing” for homemade granola. I believe I have more granola recipes on Nutrition Nut than I do of any other sort. Baking granola is entirely satisfying as it requires zero culinary skills, albeit some simple measuring.
While I love holiday baking, I am afraid to say I’m sort of spent on sugary cookies and the such. Enter slightly-sweet, crunchy granola with fiber-ful oats, heart-healthy olive oil, iron-rich molasses… and digestion-friendly ginger.
Classic gingerbread spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger – add holiday flair while pure maple syrup gives the clusters a touch a sweetness without the gluttony.

Wrap the granola up in mason jars tied with ribbon and slip into stockings, or deliver to friends’ doorsteps to share healthy holiday cheer.

YUM! I wish I saw this before I put up my 5 favorite gingerbread recipes today!
Okay, you just made me super hungry! YUM!
Gingerbread is one of my favorite holiday flavors! This one looks wonderful! I love eating granola in yogurt, with milk, or just right out of the bag.
This looks great! I have never made my own granola, but have been wanting to try. I am also getting tired of the holiday sweets; nice alternative.
I made a loaf of gingerbread yesterday and absolutely loved it! I usually just stick to the cookies, but I think this will be my go-to now. I used applesauce in the batter to lighten it up a bit and it was so moist. Delicious!! Also, that granola recipe looks fabulous. Granola will always hold a sweet spot in my heart. I top my yogurt parfaits with it every morning.
You are bringing some of that home for Christmas, right? ;)
Of course!
Yum. I love the spices in ginger cookies. I bet this would make a good granola bar, too!
I love granola on yogurt with sauteed apples. That’s my right-now favorite :)
