The holidays are quickly approaching and this gingersnap granola is sure to be the perfect beginning to start holiday baking!!! Not to mention it is also my second holiday recipe for the blog but I can assure you it will not be the last! It is crunchy, sweet, clumpy, healthy, versatile, festive, easy, and DELICIOUS! This recipe was inspired by that crunchy, seasonal gingersnap cookie. Add all those flavors from the famous cookie and combine it with a variety of healthy nuts, grains, and spices to make a perfect seasonal snack or breakfast for this time of year.
There are endless ways of pairing this gingersnap granola to make it a satisfying breakfast. You can eat it plain with some milk, on top of yogurt, mixed with cereal, or paired with fruit. I love mixing it with vanilla greek yogurt and chopped apples for some extra protein and fiber. It will be a tasty breakfast that will help get you into the holiday season. This granola also has the added benefit of being vegan, dairy free, and refined sugar free!
This recipe is not overly sweet but has a delicious surprise from the crumbled cookies. I used simple mills snickerdoodle cookies to keep the ingredients clean, but any store bought or homemade snickerdoodle or gingersnap cookie will work! It is made with healthy fats, warm spices, crunchy grains to give it the classic clumpy granola texture. This recipe would make for a perfect gift for family or friends as the holiday season approaches. Be sure to give it a try and let me know what creative ways you decide to serve it with. And if you want some more gingersnap flavor over the holidays, than give my gingersnap cookies a try!
Enjoy!!
