GINGERBREAD GRANOLA BARS
This is a twist on Playgroup Granola Bars from this site. I didn't have the stuff to make those (and we love those), so I did my own thing. They turned out great! We normally wrap them individually and freeze them, a great quick snack or breakfast on-the-go!

GINGERBREAD GRANOLA BARS
These granola bars are the perfect way to get your gingerbread fix first thing in the morning without actually eating a cookie. They get the signature gingerbread flavor from molasses in the syrup, lots of ground holiday spices and, my favorite, a couple tablespoons of candied ginger. This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 13-by-18-inch baking sheet; I like to do this and freeze half for later.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment and grease well with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the brown sugar with the oil, honey and molasses in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Toss together the oats, nuts, pepitas, dried cranberries, candied ginger, spices, wheat flour, wheat germ and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Pour the honey mixture on top and toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Spray the bottom of a second baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and use it to press the granola down into the pan evenly. Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles on top.
- Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely, then remove from the baking sheet and cut into fourteen 1 1/2-by-4-inch bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your granola bars.
- Don't over-bake the granola bars. They should be golden brown on the edges, but still soft in the center.
- Let the granola bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
- Store the granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
- Feel free to experiment with different ingredients. You can add nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or spices to your granola bars.
Conclusion:
Gingerbread granola bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you love.
