Wake me Up! Peppery Pfeffernuesse Granola

Peppery Pfeffernuesse Granola is a spicy granola with a rich molasses flavor. Make it into bars or leave it crumbled for a delightful breakfast cereal. What a peppy way to start your day!

Inspired by the time I made pepper nut cookies, I decided to take the spices and molasses and put it in granola form. I was pleasantly surprised. It made the granola have a more earthy flavor with the deep rich spices.

If you can think of fall favorites in a granola form, you’ll get the idea. It’s honestly has this heartwarming feel to it. Like a great gingerbread cookie but healthier for you.

Honestly, I could see this being great crumbled up and as a garnish for vanilla ice cream. I know, this isn’t the healthiest idea. Perhaps on some yogurt instead? Either way, you’ll love making this granola if you enjoy pfeffernuesse or pepper nut cookies.
