Description
This homemade granola recipe is packed with old fashioned oats, seeds, and a delightful blend of flavors. Perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup pepitas (or sunflower seeds)
- ½ cup tahini
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add old fashioned oats, sesame seeds, and pepitas. Stir to combine and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add tahini, maple syrup, sesame oil, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until tahini has melted and mixture is thin and pourable. Alternatively, carefully warm in the microwave in 30 second increments.
- Drizzle tahini mixture over oats and toss until evenly coated. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through. If edges are browning quickly, give your oats a quick toss and press back into an even layer.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on baking sheet. Granola will harden more as it cools. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- This granola makes a great snack or breakfast option.
- Feel free to customize the seeds or add dried fruits after baking.
