Granola

Adapted from Pick Up Limes

Ingredients:

• ½ cup pitted dates
• ¼ cup tahini or nut butter (no oil or sugar added)
• 1½ tbsp hot water
• 2 cups rolled oats
• ½ cup raw nuts
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ⅛ tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. Add the dates, tahini/nut butter, and water to a food processor and blend until creamy.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
   Spread and flatten the mixture on a parchment-lined baking tray.
   Pop the tray in the oven and bake for about 25mins, stirring halfway through.
4. Once granola is lightly golden, remove tray from the oven. Granola should continue to harden as it cools.
5. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 weeks.

Notes:

Nuts can be swapped with other ingredients such as shredded coconut, dried fruits, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
