I love to give gifts from the kitchen for the holidays, and am always looking for something more original than the ubiquitous cookie. Wrapped up in a nice jar and tied with a ribbon, this is a gift anyone would enjoy. These granolas taste especially delicious over maple or vanilla yogurt.

Hands-On Time: 5 minutes
Ready In: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 cups per recipe

Ingredients

Pumpkin Spice Granola
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup raw pecan pieces
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (shelled)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup oil
Pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Gingerbread Granola
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup blanched, slivered almonds
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/8 cup molasses
1/3 cup oil
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Mix oats, nuts, and dried fruit together in a large bowl. Mix sugar, spices, salt and wet ingredients in another.
  3. Pour sugar and oil mixture over the oats and stir well, making sure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Pour out onto greased, rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  5. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
