STOVETOP GINGERBREAD GRANOLA

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Stovetop gingerbread granolaWhen 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 way to start the Christmas treats season.  So here it is ♥

Gingerbread spice mix

I used store bought gingerbread spice mix for this but you can also use pumpkin spice mix or make a spice mix of your own! These are my favorite cozy granola spices:

◊ Ceylon cinnamon

◊ ground cardamom

◊ ground ginger

◊ ground cloves

Stovetop gingerbread granola

Stovetop granola vs Oven baked granola

This recipe is for a small batch; it will probably last a day or two at our house when 4 people are eating it with milk (oat milk is our fav), on top of oatmeal like I did today, with yogurt or just straight from the jar.

What is best about this recipe is that it is much quicker to make than oven baked granola. But I must admit the crunch is note quite the same. So if you prefer a more crunchy granola with more sweetener, I have a recipe for you:

Crunchy Oat Cookie Granola

To make crunchy oat cookie granola more suitable for the season, just add gingerbread spice mix 🙂

One tip for a yummy quick dessert: my daughter mixed about 4 tbsp of granola with 1-2 tbsp of almond butter. It tasted like gingerbread cookie dough!

You might want to try it too 😉

Total time
15 mins
 
Cuisine: vegan, gluten-free
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup almond flakes (or chopped almonds) / or any seeds and nuts
  • ¼ cup buckwheat groats / or more rolled oats / nuts or seeds
  • ¼ cup pecans / or any nuts
  • 1,5 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1,5 tsp gingerbread spice
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp - 1 tbsp coconut sugar
Instructions
  1. Chop pecans and almonds (unless you're using almond flakes). Mix all dry ingredients.
  2. Warm oil in a pan. Add spices and maple syrup and warm in low heat until the mixture starts to bubble a bit, a minute or two.
  3. Add all dry ingredients to the pan and stir so they all are coated in the oil + spice + maple mix.
  4. Turn up the heat (medium-high) and stir every now and then for about 5 minutes or until the nuts and flakes are dry and crispy.
  5. Remove from heat and put the granola into a bowl or a jar.
  6. Taste and add coconut sugar to taste. I used 2 tsp this time, but if I want a low sugar version I omit the sugar.
  7. Enjoy on top of oatmeal, smoothies, yogurt, or with milk. Or make a yummy dessert by combining granola with nut butter 🙂
Notes
Gingerbread spice (piparkakkumauste in Finnish 🙂 ) is a spice mix which contains: cinnamon, ground clover, ground ginger and dried sour orange peel (Seville orange).


You can use whatever flakes, nuts and seeds you want to! I love the mix I have here, but I also frequently use sunflower seeds, cashews and walnuts.


Serving suggestion: on top of creamy oatmeal cooked in thick oat milk (such as Kaslink AITO). Add 1 tbsp of coconut butter to the oatmeal to make it very creamy. Toppings: stovetop gingerbread granola, date-nut butter caramel (recipe here), berries and fruits.
