A sweet and salty granola which is perfect for breakfast or a snack- Gluten free and the festive gingerbread flavours, with crunchy, sweet and salty roasted almonds throughout.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, quick oats, spices and salt and mix well.
In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the oil and molasses and heat until mixture starts to bubble (approximately 1 minute). Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and combine until fully incorporated.
Spread out the granola mixture evenly on the lined oven tray and bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on the oven) until the edges start to go slightly golden. Remove from the oven and stir through the sugar free caramelised almonds. Place back in the oven and continue to bake until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, break up the granola and add extra almonds if desired and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Constantly keep an eye on your oven temperature throughout. The use of rolled oats and quick oats provided a more loose granola. To have more cluster like granola, use strictly rolled oats. You can sub the almonds for any mix ins- Keep the proportions the same. The Sugar Free Caramelised Nuts recipe can be found under 'Recipes'.
