Foodie Friday: Gingerbread Granola

Happy December to all!

The holidays are not done just yet and in fact the biggest holiday of the year is creeping up…CHRISTMAS!

The holiday season is very tricky for people who are trying to stay committed to their health and fitness goals but one thing that makes it a little easier is having some healthy alternatives on hand. No one likes feeling left out while everyone else is enjoying all of the sweet treats!

This Gingerbread granola is my favorite go-to during the holiday season! Perfect amount of sweet without being overwhelming!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats

• 1/2 cup almonds

• 1/2 cup pecans

• 1/2 cup cashews

• 1/4 cup hemp seeds

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp ground ginger

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/8 tsp ground cloves

• 1/3 cup maple syrup

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

• 2 tbsp molasses

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 330 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Combine rolled oats, almonds, pecans, cashews, hemp seeds, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves in a large bowl. Mix together.

3. In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, melted coconut oil (see notes if your coconut oil is solid), molasses, and vanilla extract. Mix together.

4. Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Combine until everything is evenly coated.

5. Spread mixture across the baking sheet in a thin layer.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring the granola halfway through. After, allow the granola to cool completely before serving or storing away.

Andrea has been at IPT since July of 2023 and has been the definition of consistency! She always makes adjustments to her nutrition and exercise when needed and pushes herself in workouts every single time. Each month she exceeds her goal of losing body fat mass, and has lost a total of 24lbs of BFM since joining!
