A delightful snack mix combining sweet, salty, and tangy flavors for a perfect treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Microwave on high until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir the mixture halfway through microwaving to ensure even melting.
Stir in the ground ginger until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spice.
Add the rolled oats to the bowl and gently toss to coat them with the butter mixture.
Ensure all oats are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly for uniform baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Keep an eye on the mix to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and stir in the sliced almonds. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Adding the nuts later prevents them from burning.
Let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet.
Cooling allows the mix to crisp up.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the cranberries.
Serve the snack mix in a bowl or store in an airtight container for later.
This mix makes a great gift when packaged in decorative jars.
