How to Make Gingersnap Granola

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan or rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups oat bran and 2 cups rolled oats. Mix well and set aside.
  4. In a 2-cup microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup margarine in the microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.
  5. Add the following ingredients to the melted margarine: 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup crushed gingersnap cookies.
  6. Whisk until well combined.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture, stirring gently until the oats are evenly coated.
  8. Spread the granola mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
