Gingerbread Granola (a Recipe Redux)

³ Description

This holiday flavored snack is the perfect pack and go snack! I portioned mine out into ziplock bags so I could just grab some (along with a greek yogurt) and take it with me! It was loaded with flavor; sweetness from the raisins and syrup, plus crunch from the nuts and toasted oats! Plus, it isn’t loaded with sugar and fat like store bought granola!
