Tahini and Halva Granola (Dairy Free, Gluten Free)

By , February 29, 2020

This is adapted from a Seed & Mill recipe, my favorite brand of Tahini. They use high quality Ethiopian sesame seeds, giving a deep roasted quality to the Tahini.

The granola is sweet and salty, with plenty of antioxidants from the raw cacao and healthy fats from the nuts. You can also adapt it, using which ever nuts you like best. Mr B likes all things with a Nutella similarity so I used hazelnuts and I personally like to throw in a pecan to any recipe whenever I can.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of nuts of your choice (I like pecan and hazelnuts), chopped
  • 1 cup GF rolled oats
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. raw cacao powder
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup organic tahini (I like seed and mill)
  • 2 tbsp. organic coconut oil
  • Halva (to crumble on top)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Mix all the ingredients apart from the Halva
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until start to brown
  • Let cool and store in a glass container

Crumble the Halva before serving
