Gingerbread Spiced Granola

Its getting very close to christmas! 🙂 I hope you’re all enjoying the festive season! I was going to try and upload quite a few festive recipes before xmas but I’ve been really really poorly this week so it’s not going to plan, but ill do my best!

I made this delicious granola last weekend and it made the house smell of all things christmas! It’s a very simple recipe and so easy to make so its great to whip up if you don’t have much energy or time. I am loving ginger at the moment, so I made this extra gingery but if you don’t like the strong ginger flavour, add less ginger than I did. It would make lovely christmas presents, if you fancy giving your loved ones something special and homemade. I put mine in kilner jars with some red and white string which I think looks lovely!
