Grain Free Tahini Granola with Apricots and Cherries
Never have I ever made such a uniquely delicious granola recipe! Tahini and apricots are everything in this tasty treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw walnuts roughly chopped
- ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup dried cherries
- ¼ cup dried apricots chopped
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cherries, and chopped dried apricots to a mixing bowl.
- In a bowl or blender, combine the cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, tahini, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir or blend until well-combined. Note that this mixture will be very thick.
- Transfer the tahini mixture to the bowl with the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Stir to combine. The mixture will be very thick.
- Turn the mixture out onto the parchment paper and spread into an even layer.
- Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Remove granola from the oven and allow it to sit untouched for 15 minutes in order to allow it to harden into large clusters. Transfer the granola to a large zip lock bag or jar.
- Enjoy granola with your favorite milk or yogurt and fresh fruit.
Notes
Replace the dried apricots and cherries with any dried fruit you like.
Use your favorite nuts and seeds to replace the walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
Omit the shredded coconut if you'd like.
