Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet Ingredients
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) to prepare for baking the granola to a perfect crunch.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cardamom, and ground ginger. Add the finely chopped apple and drizzle the honey over the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Bake the granola: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking and achieve a golden, crunchy texture.
- Cool down: Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up further as it cools.
- Serve or store: Enjoy your apple, cardamom, and ginger granola with milk, yogurt, or as a snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Use fresh apples for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred sweetness level.
- For added texture and nutrition, consider mixing in nuts or seeds.
- Ensure the granola is fully cooled before storing to maintain its crunch.
