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.
