Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts (roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup raw almonds (roughly chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup chia seeds (or basil seeds)
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds (black or white)
- 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup date syrup (or maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons tahini (or creamy nut or seed butter)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to about 195°F (90°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, combine walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and cinnamon.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine date syrup and tahini. Heat on medium power for 20–30 seconds until just loosened. Stir smooth, then mix in vanilla.
- Pour the binder over the dry mix. Stir until evenly coated and small clumps form.
- Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on the baking tray. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until mostly dry to the touch.
- Remove the sheet of granola from the warm parchment paper and set aside to cool. Let it cool completely before breaking it into small clusters.
- Enjoy like cereal with non-dairy milk, layer it with yogurt, or pair it with oatmeal or another moist food.
