To a blender add dates, oil and ~50ml water.

Blend until you reach a smooth and caramel-like consistency.

To a bowl add oats, the gingerbread spice mix and salt. Stir.

Add the date caramel and mix well until everything is evenly coated.

Spread on a baking tray with parchment paper and scatter the granola mix on top.

Make sure to leave as much space as possible for the granola and make sure it doesn’t clump too much or overlap.

Bake at 180C for 30 mins.

After 20 mins take out and break down the granola, scatter and mix well. This is a very important step, it will allow the granola to cook evenly. Add the nuts.

Return to the oven for the remaining 10-13 minutes.

Let it cool completely, they will become extra crunchy!!
