This granola is so easy to make and packs a powerful anti-inflammatory punch! It’s created as part of a meal to reverse diabetes from the experts at Masteringdiabetes.com, so it’s low fat and nutrient-dense. The cinnamon, ginger, and cloves add some intense flavor and major anti-oxidant capacity. We love it on smoothie bowls, as a topper for oatmeal, or when out hiking. Yum!

We like extra cinnamon, 1/4 cup ground chia seeds, and 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, added for the extra anti-inflammatory effect as well as the zinc.
Love it! Easy to make and came out great. It’s wonderful having another healthy option. Really like all the spices and it’s crunchy and reminds me of cookies.
