    Ginger Turmeric Granola

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    With flavorful aromatic spices, this ginger turmeric granola is perfect for a healthy (ish!) yet indulgent breakfast! Easy to make in around 30 minutes, it's a vegan granola that goes so well with fruit or to top chia pudding or smoothie bowls.

    Granola always feels like such a treat, don't you think? But store-bought is always super expensive and personally I find it far too sweet. This turmeric granola has so much flavor, with the best warming anti-inflammatory spices that are really quite good for us!

    Love granola as much as I do? Then do check out my chia seed granola and my maple coconut granola for next time!

    ⭐ Why this recipe is so good

    Full of warming spices. The mix of turmeric, ginger and cardamom have the most cozy warming vibe!

    Versatile. Use to top my spiced pear chia pudding, smoothie bowls or just with fruit and a little non-dairy milk.

    Easy to make. A super simple vegan, gluten free (using certified GF oats) and low histamine granola recipe that all the family will love (and kids can help make too!).

    🥣 Ingredients

    individually labelled ingredients to make ginger turmeric granola including pepitas and maple syrup.

    All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

    Some notes on a few of them:

    • Oats - you want to use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than the quick-cook fine oats.
    • Coconut oil - be sure to melt it first!
    • Pepitas and almond slices - you want to use plain unflavored nuts and seeds.

    📖 Swaps and variations

    Swap cardamom for cinnamon. If you prefer the latter it will also give a lovely flavor.

    Leave out the almonds. If nuts don't work for you, simply swap for more seeds.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Just a few steps to make this ginger turmeric granola, and all are easy to do:

    Steps 1 & 2

    Tip the dry ingredients of the oats, spices, nuts and seeds into a large bowl and stir to mix through (image 1). Pour in the wet ingredients of maple syrup and melted coconut oil (image 2).

    Step 3

    Stir the turmeric granola mixture well, so all the oats are well coated in the coconut oil and maple syrup and become slightly sticky (image 3).

    Step 4

    Spread the granola on a baking tray lined with parchment paper in an even layer (image 4). Press down slightly with the back of a wooden spoon.

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, then remove from the oven. Stir the granola, and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until it is going a light golden brown (but not burnt! Watch it carefully for the last 5 minutes of cook time).

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick-cook fine oats to make this ginger turmeric granola.
    • Stir very thoroughly so the oats are coated in the wet ingredients and become a little sticky.
    • To help get granola clusters (which are always so good!), press the granola down on the baking tray with the back of a wooden spoon.
    • Use just a small pinch of salt. We want to balance out the sweetness, but not have a salty granola!
    • Granola crisps up as it cools down, so try not to be too tempted to eat straight away!

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    Which type of oats are best for making this turmeric granola?

    You want to use old-fashioned rolled oats for this granola. Steel cut oats can be used, but will be much chewier and likely take longer to cook (watch for burning!), whereas fine quick-cook oats won't really give you the same granola consistency.

    Can I add more maple syrup for sweetness?

    You can add more maple syrup (and this means you are more likely to get clusters!), but I suggest not going too crazy with it unless you have a big sweet tooth!

    Is this a low histamine granola?

    Yes, this ginger turmeric granola is low histamine per the SIGHI list, using ingredients that score 0-1 on that list. Do check out my low histamine breakfast recipes round-up for more tasty ideas!

    Equipment

    • Parchment paper

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats gf if required

    • Spoon the granola mixture onto the lined baking tray in an even layer. Use the back of a wooden spoon to lightly press the mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

    • To help get granola clusters (which are always so good!), press the granola down on the baking tray with the back of a wooden spoon.
    • Allow the granola to cool before touching it, as it will crisp up as it cools in temperature.

      I have not tried this yet but want to. Do you have a suggestion of what I could use in place of almonds? I seem to be allergic to all nuts as late.

        Simply adding more seeds if they work for you would be fine!

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
