Peppermint Bark Granola
Peppermint Bark Granola
Oh my gosh, this is pure peppermint bliss. All you need is a handful of wholesome ingredients you most likely have in your pantry & a good ol’ baking sheet and you are ready to go.
There are so many ways to sneak a good ol’ gluten free, refined sugar free granola into the diet & this makes a sweet healthy gift for friends, family, or co workers. I personally love adding the granola to a medium size mason jar with a red bow and a candy cane to decorate it with a few tags of ideas how to use it.
A cereal alternative… just add milk!
A yogurt topper, mhm delish!
A smoothie topper, gotta love crunch!
By itself and get snackin’ yum!
… get creative!
Here’s what you need:
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup cacao powder
3 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sliced almonds
4 cups gluten free oats
3/4 cup HU GEMS or chocolate chips
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 tsp coconut oil
3 candy canes, crushed
To Make:
Preheat oven to 320 degrees F
Mix together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, cacao powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Next add almonds, & gluten free oats and stir until combine.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and smear granola evenly across tightly impact (trying to completely cover the parchment paper tightly)
Bake for 40 minutes
Once done baking, melt HU gems over a double boiler and drizzle melted HU gems on top.
Let cool for 1 hour and then melt white chocolate chips over a double boiler with 1 tsp coconut oil and drizzle this on top of granola.
As soon as you drizzle the white chocolate, smash candy canes with the back of a mason jar and sprinkle over granola. Let cool over night (cover with foil when you go to bed) and in the morning break into pieces and store in mason jars.
This recipe will make enough for 5-6 12 ounce mason jars.
