Grain Free Gingerbread Granola

Looking for the perfect holiday DIY gift?!?! Well look no further! This granola has all the delicious holiday flavors, with out the sugar, and as an added bonus comes together in minutes. It’s perfect to wrap up in a cute tin as a gift or to make for Christmas morning. I love to serve it with coconut milk and tons of banana slices.

This granola is amazing because you can really use whatever nuts or seeds you have on hand. I personally love using sunflower seeds and pecans, but the combinations are endless. The spices and molasses really take on that true gingerbread flavor, but if you don’t have molasses it’s still delicious and festive.

It’s taken me years to perfect this granola recipe and I hope you love it as much as I do!
