GRANOLA WITH CANDIED GINGER
Lots of nuts for your morning protein. There's no sugar, other than the candied ginger. If you don't like ginger, leave it out and use sweetened coconut instead of regular. This granola is nice because you can toast it on the stovetop instead of baking it.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the granola will taste. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Choose a variety of oats. Rolled oats, steel-cut oats, and quick oats can all be used in granola. Each type of oats has a different texture, so using a variety will give your granola a more interesting texture.
- Don't overcook the granola. Granola is best when it is slightly chewy, so don't overcook it. Keep an eye on it in the oven and take it out as soon as it starts to brown.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. You can add a variety of mix-ins to your granola, such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and spices. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite granola recipe.
- Store the granola properly. Granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also freeze granola for up to six months.
