Gluten Free Gingerbread Granola
This delicious and warming allergy friendly granola is gluten free, vegan, and nut free. It incorporates warming spices and a touch of sweetness for the perfect healthy, homemade granola recipe!
Servings 6 -8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten free oats
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds*
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds*
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt use 1/2 tsp regular salt if you don't have flaky
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup olive oil melted coconut oil also works or another neutral oil
- 1/4 cup molasses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix the oats, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, spices, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, oil, and molasses together in a small bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix to combine well so all the dry ingredients are coated.
- Spread the granola mixture over a large, parchment lined baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes then mix the granola and bake for another 15 minutes. The granola is done when it starts smelling fragrant and the granola around the edges of the pan are starting to really brown. Let the granola cool at room temperature, it will harden up and get nice and crunchy!
- I like to store my granola in the freezer. It keeps it crunchy and fresh! Either way, be sure to keep granola stored in an airtight container.
Notes
*You can sub the nuts for 1.5 cups of your favorite nut or seed blend!
