Tahini Granola
This Tahini Granola is a mix of oats, almonds, tahini, apricots and cranberries. It's great on its own or topped on yogurt.
- 2 cups quick oats*
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/16 tsp salt (or a pinch of salt)
- ¼ cup slivered or chopped almonds
- ¼ cup chopped dried apricots
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 1 large egg, whites separated from yellow (you will only use the whites in this recipe)
Preheat oven to 300F
Mix oats, cinnamon, cardamom, tahini, salt, brown sugar, egg white, vanilla, and almonds in a bowl
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread granola evenly on the sheet and press down with a spatula or small piece of parchment paper (this will help clusters form)
Bake for about 20 minuets, until a lightly toasted color is achieved. Once out of the oven add chopped apricots and cranberries and gently mix together with granola
This stores freshly at room temperature for 4 weeks in a sealed container. But, it may be devoured sooner than that
