Tahini Berry Granola

Course Breakfast, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw almonds, chopped
  • ½ cup raw sesame seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pink peppercorns (optional)
  • 2/3 cup freeze-dried berries, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300° F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the tahini and maple syrup and salt.
  • Place the oats, almonds, sesame seeds and pepper (if using) in a large bowl and mix to combine. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir well to coat completely. Transfer the mixture to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spreading evenly to avoid burning on the edges and place in the preheated oven.
  • Bake granola for 30–35 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir once and add the freeze-dried berries. Then stir every few minutes until golden.
  • Remove the granola from the oven, let it cool completely and store for up to a month at room temperature in an airtight container, such as a large glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Makes about 6 cups.
