Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, salt, cinnamon and ground ginger. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the oil, maple syrup, molasses and vanilla. Turn the granola out onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and top with coconut flakes (if using). Stir up the mixture to make sure the granola cooks evenly.
- Return the pan to the oven for 8 to 11 more minutes, or until the granola is lightly golden on top. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
- Top the granola with the chopped cranberries and candied ginger. Let the granola cool before breaking it into pieces and enjoying.
- Store the granola in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for 1 to 2 weeks. Store in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.

CRUNCHY SPICE GRANOLA
The best source that I know of for most of the ingredients in this recipe is Whole Foods Market, but you should be able to find them in other health food stores or better supermarkets. You can be fairly flexible about the amount of nuts and dried fruits, but remember, they provide most of the good flavor; the more fruits and nuts you include, the better it tastes, the more rolled oat, the cheaper it is to make. This recipe makes a real big batch, but it can be halved if desired. It keeps well. This can be a very expensive recipe, but I still think it is worth it !!! A little goes a long way!
