    Anything gingerbread-flavored puts me in a happy place, like my Gingerbread Balls that can be eaten as a snack or a dessert.

    For this healthy homemade Gingerbread Granola, I used only gluten-free rolled oats, but you could add nuts, dried fruit, or whatever you like. I ate mine with some chopped pecans.

    It is the perfect way to start your day during the holidays. Have it with some Homemade Oat Milk.

    Other granola recipes to try are my Low Carb Grain Free Granola recipe and Chocolate and Coconut Granola recipe.
