Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup chia seeds (flax seeds would also be nice)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (or pecans, almonds, etc)

- 1/2 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 tsp Himalayan Crystal Sea Salt
- 1/3 cup blackstrap molasses (light or dark molasses will also work)
- 2 tsp vanilla
Servings:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use a roasting pan, which is nice since you can just mix all of the ingredients right in it, without losing things over the edge.
- Combine all of your dry ingredients, oats, seeds, nuts, dried fruit etc., in a large bowl (or in your roasting pan). Add in your spices and salt. Mix well.
- Pour the molasses and vanilla over the dry ingredients and stir until well coated. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes. Give the mixture a little taste and add some xylitol if it's too bitter for you.
- If you aren't using a roasting pan, spread the granola on the baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes. Toss every 10 minutes or so to provide even toasting.
- Let cool completely it will get crispier as it cools. Keep in airtight container.
- Enjoy!
