Orange Ginger Granola Bars

In a large bowl, mix oats, coconut, wheat germ, both seeds, almonds, and cardamom.

On the stove, heat vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, honey, butter, grapeseed oil, orange juice and zest, peanut butter and brown sugar until all sugar has dissolved.

Pour warm sugar mixture over oat mixture.

Combine until well incorporated.

Add crystallized ginger, cranberries, coconut and raisins.

Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper.

Lightly butter the parchment paper (or spray with cooking spray).

Spread granola into dish evenly.

Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until granola has darkened in color.

Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Or just break into crumbly bits!
