Easy Tahini Granola

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups seeds/chopped nuts
• Optional: 1/2 cup add-ins (dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc.)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350 °F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set it aside.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt until smooth.

3. 3

   Add in the oats, nuts and seeds and stir well until all of the oat mixture has been well coated in the tahini sauce.

4. 4

   Dump the oat mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer. Use the spatula to press down on the oat mixture so that the oats start to stick together.

5. 5

   Bake the granola towards the top of the oven for 10 minutes. Then lower the baking sheet to the bottom of the oven and allow it to bake for another 8-12 minutes or until golden brown on top.

6. 6

   Remove the tray from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely before breaking it into clusters and storing it in an airtight container.
