Gluten Free Gingerbread Granola takes just a few minutes to mix up, has only 9 ingredient and is perfectly spicy and sweet! If you are a granola fan, you are in for a special treat! When I was growing up my family almost always had a cannister full of homemade granola. Our recipe was simple and we made it exactly the same way every time. Oats, honey, oil, molasses, coconut, sunflower seeds, water, and wheat germ. I remember measuring the ingredients with my mom. We'd mix them all together in our biggest metal mixing bowl, and then we would bake the granola for several hours IN our mixing bowl, stopping to give it a big stir every 20 minutes or so. I actually hated eating the granola. I hated the sunflower seeds and would pick them all out before adding milk to my bowl. As you can imagine that made breakfast take a LONG time! As I grew up I was astounded at the different homemade granola recipes that people create! On Flippin' Delicious I have gluten free oatmeal cookie granola, gluten free salted caramel granola and gluten free pumpkin granola recipes. My granola recipe repetiore pales in comparison to the granola recipe arsenal that Leah from Grain Changer has on her blog. Just a few days ago she shared a recipe for Apple Pie Granola! Leah loves granola, which is why some of my friends and I have gathered to shower her and her new baby with granola recipes!

It takes just a few minutes and 9 ingredients to make this sweet and spicy ginger granola. I add extra ginger to mine because I like it spicy like my favorite gingersnaps. If you are a fan of satisfying clumps in your granola be sure to wait to stir the granola until after it has cooled completely.
