American 30 Mins Prep · 45 Mins Cook
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, 1 tsp fine ginger, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, mixed spice and 1/4 tsp of salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream the butter and 60g of sugar until light and fluffy, approx. 5 minutes. Add 3 tbsp of molasses and 1 egg yolk and beat until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. If the mixture is a bit dry, add a splash of milk.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough to approx. 1cm in thickness. Using a small gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut out shapes and place on baking trays. Cover the baking trays and place them in the fridge while the granola is being made.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Chop the candied ginger.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of gigner and 1/2 tsp of salt. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, 2 tbsp of molasses and 1 tbsp of sugar. Place in the microwave for 2 minutes to melt. Pour the melted coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Spread the mixture on a lined baking tray and bake for 20-30 minutes, tossing the granola halfway. Remove from the oven and cool completely before adding the cranberries, chocolate chips and candied ginger.
- While the granola cools, bake the gingerbread men until just golden brown approx. 10-12 minutes. Cool completely before adding to the granola.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
