Ginger Snap Granola

(8 servings)

- 2 and 1/2 cups Oat Squares breakfast cereal (Oat Bran or Oat Chex also work)
-
2 cups oats - quick or Old Fashioned
-
3 Tablespoons butter or margarine
-
1/2 cup honey
-
2 Tablespoons molasses
-
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 pinch grated nutmeg
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Prepare a 15" x 10" (or similar) rimmed baking sheet by spraying with a thin coating of cooking spray.
In a small sauce pan set to medium low heat, combine the butter (or margarine), honey, molasses, lemon peel, vanilla and remaining spices. Cook - stirring often - until well combined and smooth.
Mix the breakfast cereal and (uncooked) oats together in a large bowl.
Drizzle with hot mixture and stir gently to coat evenly.
Spread the compiled mixture on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown - stirring every 10 minutes.
*Begin checking the granola after 20 minutes so it doesn't burn.

Granola with a festive flavor. This stores well in a sealed container for about 2 weeks.
