SunButter Gingerbread Granola with oats, nuts, and ginger. Sweetened with maple syrup and molasses. Chunky, ginger-y, and perfect for winter!
Unpopular opinion: I *love* baking, but sometimes struggle to eat all of my baked goods.
M isn’t really a cookie-eater, but he will devour a pan of granola.
So, let’s harness the best of both worlds and make gingerbread into granola this season, okay?
This SunButter Gingerbread Granola is like baking cookies but in breakfast form.
It’s made with rolled oats, nuts, and ginger and sweetened with maple syrup and molasses.
It’s chunky, ginger-y, and the perfect addition to your winter breakfasts!
What You Need to Make SunButter Gingerbread Granola
Here’s what you need to make SunButter Gingerbread Granola:
- gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- raw nuts
- ground cinnamon
- ground ginger
- No-Sugar-Added SunButter
- maple syrup
- molasses
That’s it!
How to Make SunButter Gingerbread Granola
The trick to this recipe is the bake the granola at low heat to it gets nice and crispy without burning or getting *too* crunchy.
Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl until the oats and nuts are well-coated by the wet ingredients.
For nuts, I love a combination of almonds and pecans, but walnuts or cashews will work here, too!
If you don’t have maple syrup, date syrup is a wonderful substitute.
How to Make Granola with No-Added-Oil
I used No-Sugar-Added SunButter to keep this granola no-oil-added with a hint of nutty flavor.
The No-Sugar-Added variety is nice in this recipe because it adds a hint of sea salt, too, which draws out the sweetness of the date syrup and molasses!
Using SunButter adds extra plant-based protein and vitamin and minerals to this recipe, too!
Spread the mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the granola to cool completely before breaking the it into chunks!
Store the granola in the airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
How to Serve SunButter Gingerbread Granola
Enjoy this SunButter Gingerbread Granola as a delicious winter granola variety.
I love making homemade granola on hand to top my yogurt bowls, oatmeal bowls, chia pudding, and more.
This granola would also make a special and delicious holiday gift in mason jars tied with ribbon.
My granola usually doesn’t make it past my kitchen because we eat it so fast!
Try using different nuts for different flavor variations and textures.
Enjoy!

Hi Alle! Mildy sweet. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup! Let me know how it turns out.
