It’s a new year, so I thought I’d kick things off with a brand new recipe. Something with a nice winter feel. Something to fill up your tummies on a cold, snowy day. Something that’s a little savory and a little sweet and lot of healthy, of course!
This Gingersnap Granola is the perfect fix for a busy morning. Just add a little almond milk for a deliciously filling breakfast. Mix it into some yogurt, add it to an apple with peanut butter, or just grab a handful to go. However you like your granola, this will fit your hippy cravings.
Did I mention it’s sugar-free? And vegan? I know. I know. All your doubts just shot right out the window as your jaw dropped to the floor. But you besta pick up that jaw and use it to munch on this granola!
Gingersnap Granola – bringing back great memories of you nom-ing on those scrumptious childhood cookie, one bite at a time.
Enjoy!

I love Ginger Snaps. One of my favorite snacks. This appears to be a healthy alternative that I can’t wait to try out. Currently have all ingredients in my cupboard! Yippie!

Yes!! Love when that happens!
That you for the recipe. I like to actually put my granola on cereals or in my oatmeal.
