Yields1 ServingPrep Time5 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time30 mins

Toasted sesame granola with hints of maple and sea salt, studded with coconut flakes and goji berries. Fragrant, wholesome, and not too sweet!

Wet Ingredients
 ¼ cup maple syrup
 ⅓ cup tahini*
 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
 2 cups rolled oats**
 ½ cup coconut flakes
 1 cup seeds/nuts of choice (I use 1/2 c pumpkin seeds + 1/2 cup sunflower seeds)
 ¼ cup sesame seeds
 ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
 ½ tsp salt
 ¼ cup dried goji berries, cranberries, or raisins
1

Preheat the oven to 325° F (165° C). In a large mixing bowl combine the tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.

2

Add in the rest of the dry ingredients except for the dried fruit, stirring well to ensure all ingredients are coated in the wet mixture.

3

Spoon and flatten in an even layer in a baking tray, and bake for 15 minutes. Do not stir. Rotate the pan and bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden.

4

Remove from oven and sprinkle on the dried goji berries. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then break into chunks. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
