Tahini Chocolate Date Granola

This Tahini Chocolate Date Granola is the perfect combination of nutty from the tahini, slightly sweet from the maple + brown sugar, salty, and chocolatey. It's baked low and slow, which delivers lightly toasted flavor and big clusters. The addition of chopped dates, mini chocolate chips, and flaky salt really makes it! It's incredibly addicting - you will love it!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • flaky sea salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 10-12 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250℉. I know it seems low, but trust me! Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped almonds, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, brown sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth. Pour mixture into the oat mixture, and stir until completed coated and moistened.

  3. Pour granola onto prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with a few big pinches of flaky sea salt. Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring at the 20 minute mark. Granola should be fragrant and lightly golden brown at the end of baking. Let cool completely before stirring - this will help keep those amazing clusters intact!

  4. Once granola has cooled completely, stir in the chocolate chips and chopped dates. Keep in a sealed container/jar and enjoy for up to a week!
