Christmas Granola Recipe
Description
This granola recipe layers toasted rolled oats and pistachios with coconut flakes, blended with a spiced honey and coconut oil mixture flavored by cardamom, ginger, and sea salt. Baking at moderate heat slowly crisps the granola, developing a light golden color and crunchy texture. The spices provide a warm aromatic base typical of holiday treats.
After baking and cooling briefly, dried cranberries and white chocolate chips are gently folded in; the residual warmth softens the chocolate slightly, allowing it to adhere to clusters without fully melting. This combination balances tartness, sweetness, and crunch for a festive snack or breakfast topping.
The granola stores well in glass jars for up to a month, making it convenient for advance preparation or gifting during the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats gluten-free if needed
- 1 cup pistachio
- 1 cup coconut ribbon or large flake
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Add the oats, pistachios, and coconut to a large, heat-proof mixing bowl.
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, mix the honey, coconut oil, cardamom, ginger, and sea salt. Once it starts to boil, remove the pot from the heat and pour the liquid over the oats.
- Mix the oats well the spread them out in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through. Take the granola out of the oven when it is light golden brown. It will crisp once it cools.
- Let the granola cool for 5 minutes then gently stir in the cranberries and white chocolate. The chocolate will melt slightly (as long as you don't mix it too much) and adhere to the granola. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Store the Christmas granola in glass jars in your pantry for up to a month.
