Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1/4 cup date paste
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups rolled or quick oats
  • 1 cup mixed nuts and seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 320°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  • Step 2

    Add date paste, tahini, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined and a uniform paste forms. If your paste is very thick, add 1 tbsp water to thin it out. It should be easy to mix but thicker than cake batter.

  • Step 3

    Add oats, nuts, seeds, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine and evenly disperse the ingredients.

  • Step 4

    Transfer granola to the lined baking sheet. Spread it out into an even layer and press down with a spatula or spoon so the granola is tightly packed (this will help create clusters!).

  • Step 5

    Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the granola over, and continue baking another 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Keep an eye on the edges as they tend to burn faster.

  • Step 6

    The granola will still be a little soft out of the oven but will firm up into crunchy pieces as it cools.
