Preparation
Chef’s notes
Recipe adapted from my gingerbread granola.
*Preparation tips:
If you are using large, whole nuts (pecans, walnuts, etc.) follow instructions as directed. If you are using small nuts or seeds (sunflower seeds, pepitas, etc.), wait to stir them into the granola until you remove it from the oven halfway through cooking.
Make it vegan:
Instead of honey, use maple syrup as your sweetener.
