- 4 cups quick oats
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 4 tbsp sesame tahini
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then, in a large mixing bowl or on the same sheet pan you will be cooking the granola add the oats, olive oil, maple syrup, sesame tahini, sesame seeds, hemp seeds and salt.
Mix thoroughly with your clean hands. It will be sticky not wet.
Add the oat mixture to a large sheet pan and spread in a thin layer, pressing down gently. Bake for 7 minutes.
Using the back of a spatula, stir the granola so that the underside is on top. Essentially flipping it but it won't stay in one piece, it will crumble. Then spread again in a thin layer and gently press again.
Bake for another 5-7 minutes. Once you can really smell the granola, it is finished. There is a fine line, if you are not paying attention, it will burn very easily if you don't take it out on time.
Let the granola cool before moving it to a storage container.
