Make gingerbread granola from scratch in 30 minutes! With cinnamon, ginger, cloves and molasses, you'll love this as cereal, or a yogurt /ice cream topping!
In a large mixing bowl, add first 6 ingredients (molasses, oil, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves). Whisk these together until fully blended.
Add rolled oats, coconut flakes and chopped nuts to molasses mixture; stir until oats, etc. are coated.
Divide and spread mixture out evenly onto 2 large baking sheets (with rims). Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Stir oats occasionally (every 7-8 minutes), then redistribute them on baking sheets, and bake until the oats become light brown in color.
Remove oats from oven and stir in dried cranberries (or raisins). Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring to an airtight container, or serving. Enjoy!
