I just had to share these Gingerbread Granola Gift Jars! As we creep closer and closer to the holidays I am always trying to put together homemade gifts for friends and family.

Ingredients needed

While granola is cooling, feel free to get creative with your jars! I used pretty scrapbook paper and raffia ribbon to embellish mine, but the options are endless!
You can also use extra wrapping paper to decorate your jars.
When completely cooled, gently break any large clusters and begin pouring into your jars.
Add lids and rings. Give to your friends and family!
