It’s that time of year when everything infused with pumpkin is replaced with gingerbread goodness.
This Grain-free Gingerbread Granola has the perfect crunch, the right amount of spice, a touch of sweetness and when baking in the oven it will fill your home with the most amazing, mouth watering smell. I can’t wait for you to try this recipe!
Last month Jess and I had one of our ‘workcations’ in Boulder (where Jess is from). We have them about 4x per year either in Minnesota (where I’m from) or Boulder. These 5-6 days together tend to be pretty packed and it has become a common theme that we almost always set unachievable goals of creating a dozen or more recipes, when in reality, it ends up being half of that. Luckily, this Grain-free Gingerbread Granola made the cut! PS: during our last ‘workcation’ we were a bit occupied as we’re currently working on an exciting project that we will be sharing in January! And that’s all I’m going to say about that so stay tuned 🙂 Any guesses?
A healthy ‘giftable’ recipe!
Grain-free Gingerbread Granola makes for a delightful and tasty holiday gift! This year I plan to up my DIY/’pinteresting’ game and make several batches of this crunchy goodness to package in small mason jars with a snazzy holiday ribbon and name tags. The perfect gift for my dearest friends and family members!

Grain-free Gingerbread Granola is studded to perfection with dried apples and crystalized ginger.
The addition of dried apples and crystalized ginger is totally optional but highly recommended. The apples add a pleasant level of tartness while the crystalize ginger give the granola some sassy kick. The burst of flavor that is created by the addition of these two ingredients takes this granola from good to freakin’ amazing! For dried fruit, we love Made In Nature as all of their dried fruits are organic, non-gmo, made without artificial preservative, additives, colors or flavors. If you wish, you could substitute Made In Nature dried cranberries, apricots or plums. Pin now, make later!
