Salty Chocolate + Tahini Granola
3 cups old-fashioned oats
½ - 1 cup chopped nuts of choice (I use pistachios and/or almonds)
1 - 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
⅓ cup honey
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons tahini (stirred until smooth)
2 tablespoons of neutral oil (olive, coconut, avocado, etc.)
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon or cardamom (I do ¼ teaspoon each)
To finish:
⅓ - ½ cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Flaky salt
Light dusting of lemon zest
Sprinkling of sprinkles
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
1. In a big bowl, combine the oats, nuts, and salt and stir to combine.
2. To a small sauce pot, add the honey, maple syrup, tahini, and oil and warm over low heat while stirring for about 1-2 minutes. Once it is loose and glossy, remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon and cardamom.
3. Pour the wet mixture over the bowl of dry and mix with a rubber spatula until fully coated.
4. Transfer the mixture to the parchment lined sheet tray, gently press into an even layer, about ½ - 1 inch thick, and place in the oven.
5. Bake for about 25-40 minutes, rotating halfway, until it’s light golden brown and toasted. Do not stir. (I know this is a wide range of time. We enjoy it a little chewy so I err on the side of 25-30 minutes rather than the longer time.)
6. Remove from the oven, and evenly scatter the chocolate, salt, lemon zest and sprinkles over the top. Let cool on pan - it will firm up as it cools. Once it cools, you can break it up into pieces and store in a resealable bag or covered tupperware container.
