The toasted ginger provides a subtle spiciness, balanced by maple syrup and cinnamon. Toasted ginger and shredded coconut provide a light crisp texture, which beautifully contrasts the extra crunchy nuts and seeds. By toasting the oats, nuts and seeds beforehand you create a nuttier, more aromatic granola – just be sure to store it in an airtight container to preserve its crunchy texture and fully spiced flavor.
Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup pecans
¼ cup walnuts
¼ cup almonds
¼ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup shredded coconut

2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
¼ cup organic ginger slices, roughly chopped
½ cup maple syrup
