GRANOLA WITH CANDIED GINGER
Lots of nuts for your morning protein. There's no sugar, other than the candied ginger. If you don't like ginger, leave it out and use sweetened coconut instead of regular. This granola is nice because you can toast it on the stovetop instead of baking it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine oats and cashews. In a small saucepan, combine butter, condensed milk, sesame seeds, and salt over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts, about 2 minutes. (Or, place ingredients in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave until butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes; stir until combined.) Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and toss until oats and nuts are completely coated. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Bake until oats are lightly golden, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack, 20 minutes, then stir in ginger. Store in airtight containers at room temperature, up to 3 weeks.
