- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (100 g)
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp almonds (or other types of nuts) (100 g)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 heaping tbsp tahini (or other type of nut butter) (35 g)

- (optional: dry fruits like raisins)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 °F (150 °C).
- Process 1/2 cup (50 g) of the oats together with the almonds until a coarse flour forms (you should still habe some almond pieces after processing).
- Mix the ground oat-almond mixture with the rest of the dry ingredients.
- In a small bowl combine the nut butter with the maple syrup and whisk until creamy. Then mix with the dry ingredients and use a spoon to incoorperate.
- Spread the granola mixture on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 min until golden. (It might still be a little moist, but will crisp up when it's cooling)
- Let the granola cool completely, add dry fruits if you like, and store in an air-tight container.
Notes
Keep an eye on the granola once in the oven! I've burned mine a couple of times. Depending on your oven and the settings you use, your granola might be done a little sooner or it might take a little longer.
