Ingredients
4 cups quick oats
4 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. maple syrup
4 tbsp. Mighty Sesame Tahini
2 tbsp. sesame seeds
2 tbsp. hemp seeds
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the oats, olive oil, maple syrup, tahini, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, and salt to a large mixing bowl or directly onto the sheet pan you’ll use for baking.
- Mix everything well with clean hands. The mixture should feel sticky, not wet.
- Spread the oat mixture onto a large sheet pan in a thin layer, then gently press it down. Bake for 7 minutes.
- Use the back of a spatula to stir the granola, bringing the underside to the top. It won’t stay in one piece, and that’s okay. Spread it back into a thin layer and gently press it down again.
- Bake for another 5–7 minutes. Once the granola smells toasted and fragrant, it’s ready. Keep a close eye on it, as it can go from done to overdone pretty quickly.
- Let the granola cool completely before transferring it to a storage container.
