Creative plant-based recipes from the magical berry forest
When I need a quick crunchy sweet food, I make stovetop granola. I use whatever nuts, seeds and grains I have, a bit of coconut oil, sweetener and salt and then the most important thing: spices! As I was planning some Christmas recipes today I thought a quick stovetop gingerbread granola would be a lovely…
