After one of you fabulous followers reached out to request a new flavor, the spark of inspiration led me straight to the kitchen—and let me tell you, I am buzzing with excitement to share this latest creation with you! Introducing my Lemon Ginger Granola, a recipe that may just be my new favorite. It’s not just the taste—it’s the way the zesty lemon bursts through with each bite, perfectly complemented by a warm hint of ginger, making every mouthful irresistibly fresh. I’ve thrown in dried blueberries for that extra punch of flavor, but if you can’t find them, dried cherries work wonderfully too. Trust me, this granola is so good that I had to stop myself from eating it all before I could even snap a photo!
This isn’t just any granola; it’s a vibrant addition to your spring and summer pantry that promises to keep your taste buds dancing and your body fueled. Whether you’re sprinkling it over yogurt, blending it into your morning smoothie, or grabbing a handful on the go, this Lemon Ginger Granola is set to become a staple in your home. So, why wait? Preheat that oven and let’s make your new go-to granola together – your taste buds will thank you!
Start by preheating your oven to 320°F if using convection or 325°F for a regular oven. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, coconut, nuts, seeds, and a teaspoon of ground ginger. Next, add the drained blueberries to the mix, ensuring that all ingredients are well distributed. This will form the crunchy, nutritious base of your granola.
In a small pot, combine olive oil, tahini, maple syrup, vanilla, and the remaining teaspoon of ginger. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until everything blends into a smooth, homogenous mixture. Pour this wet mixture over the dry ingredients in your bowl. Mix thoroughly, making sure every oat, nut, and seed is nicely coated. Enhance the granola with fresh lemon zest, using a microplane to evenly distribute it throughout the mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly across two baking trays, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to avoid it being too thick or too thin, which ensures an even bake. Place the trays in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the pans 180 degrees to promote uniform cooking and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Once done, allow the granola to cool completely on the trays; this step is crucial as it helps the granola achieve its iconic crunch and clump. Transfer the cooled granola into an airtight mason jar and store at room temperature for up to a month.
I can’t wait for you to try my Lemon Ginger Granola! It’s not just about indulging your taste buds—it’s also about making choices that support your health, especially when it comes to managing blood sugar. This granola is packed with fibre from oats and flax seeds, which help to moderate blood sugar spikes. Plus, the nuts add a good dose of protein, making each serving both satisfying and nutritious. This bright and zesty granola is the perfect way to treat yourself without compromising your health.
