1 large container
- Serves:

ingredients
- 5 cups rolled oats
- 1 1⁄2 cups slivered almonds
- 1⁄3 cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon ground cloves
- 1 cup crystallized ginger, chopped small
- 12 -18 dried figs, also chopped small
directions
- preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Combine oats, Almonds and spices in a large bowl.
- Give the spiced oats a good toss to combine initially.
- drizzle the molasses over the top.
- Get your hands dirty! reach in and mix by hand, a bit of a rubbing motion helps to coat the oats. keep rubbing until the oats are evenly coated.
- Spread the mix on 2 sheet pans, don't pour it on too thick.
- toast! Pull the oats out about every 7 min to toss and mix, you want to make sure that their getting toasted evenly. This step will likely take about 30-40min. Toast until everything is brown and crunchy.
- *its a little hard to tell if your using strait molasses, so after the first 3 pulls, take a nibble to check the texture!*.
- Add all of your chopped ginger and figs to a large bowl, after the granola has cooled a little toss it in with your chopped goods.
- after cooled completely store in airtight containers and enjoy!
