This Gingerbread Hazelnut Granola is simply amazing! Packed full of festive flavors, vegan & gluten-free!
Mitja has been asking me for a new batch of granola for a while now. I had rolled oats conveniently at hand (4 packs even!) and as I was throwing ingredients together, I also found a pack of roasted hazelnuts and a forgotten opened pack of mixed gingerbread spices in the baking drawer.
What with my resolution to clear our the pantry (on a side note, that is going painstakingly slow), I decided even making a granola is a great opportunity to clear out opened packages and long-forgotten ingredients, right?
Unbeckoned to me, I ended up making our best granola so far.
This amazing Gingerbread Hazelnut Granola is…
… dairy-free…
…gluten-free…
…vegan…
…aromatic…
…delicious…
…super easy!
Now, according to Mitja, there are faaaar too few toasted hazelnuts in here, so if you like them a lot, feel free to add more at will. I also chopped them up a bit first, just so you get even portions when serving.
I’ve got to say. I’ll be making plenty more of this granola and perhaps even use it as xmas gifts for our families.
