Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup shelled pistachios
  • ¾ cup walnuts
  • ½ cup sunflower seed
  • 3 tablespoons raw sesame seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ¾ cup honey (warmed up so it’s runny)
  • 2/3 cup tahini
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • ½ cup chopped Medjool dates ((about 6 dates, pitted and chopped) )
  • ½ cup dry cranberries or cherries

Instruction

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the oats, pistachios, walnuts, sunflower seed, and sesame seeds, and coconut flakes in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, mix the honey, tahini, olive oil, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. Pour over the oat mixture and toss until the oat mixture is well-coated.
  • Spread the mixture on a large sheet pan in one single layer. Bake in the heated oven, stirring every 7 to 10 minutes, until the mixture is golden and well-toasted (anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes)
  • Remove from the heat and allow the granola to cool completely. Break it up into clusters and mix in the dates and cranberries (or other dried fruits of your choice).
