1cupraw walnuts, chopped(115 g)
1cupunsweetened coconut flakes(80 g / flakes are larger than shreds)
Liquid Mixture
½cupdried dates, pitted and simmered in water for 10 minutes(90 g)
½cupunsweetened non-dairy milk(120 ml)
2tablespoonstahini(30 g)
2teaspoonscinnamon powder
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
⅛teaspoonsalt
For serving (optional)
fresh fruit
non-dairy milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Place the whole grain flakes, walnuts, and coconut into a mixing bowl and stir until the ingredients are combined.
Place the liquid mixture ingredients into a blender and blend until totally smooth, about two minutes.
Pour the liquid mixture into the mixing bowl with your dry ingredients and combine, making sure the granola is well coated.
Line your baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or silicone baking mat(s) and evenly distribute the granola on the sheet(s).
Bake for 20 minutes, flip the granola over and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Take the granola out of the oven and allow it to cool completely. When it's cool, transfer into a container and store in the fridge. Letting it cool and then storing it in the fridge will help make it crunchy.
Serve however you prefer. We like it in a bowl, topped with fresh fruit and a splash of non-dairy milk.
