It’s been ages since I’ve shared a breakfast recipe with you all, but this gingerbread granola is worth waiting for. It’s one of those recipes that I wish you could smell, it’s that good! Plus, it’s super easy to whip up and will keep you happy all week long.

Technically this gingerbread granola will last in a sealed container for a couple of weeks, but it never lasts that long in my house! I love it with some natural yoghurt and stewed or fresh fruits for breakfast, or eaten by the handful for the jar. It’s seriously tasty, and so good for this time of the year! It would make an excellent gift too!
This is one of those recipes I wish you could smell through the computer. The spices while it’s in the oven give off the best smells, it’s hard not to just eat it all straight away!
Who fancies some of my gingerbread granola?
