Oh hey there! I know it has been a long time since I’ve posted a recipe here but I promise I have good reasons. LIFE. Yes your girl has been living life over the past couple of months and it has been glorious. I recently returned from a 2 week training/vacation in Baja Mexico. I left my training feeling grounded and inspired but now on this side of things, also jetlagged and tired. Not to worry, the sun is shining and Spring is on the way.
I am SO EXCITED to share this new granola recipe with you. Many of you love my tried and true granola and other variations but this one is holy hell delicious and dare I say one of my best. The addition of black sesame and tahini are just magical as you will soon find out. If you don’t have black sesame, use white. I am positive the taste will be just as delicious.

I made this for the first time, and it’s great! My family loves it too. We were short a few ingredients (walnuts and hazelnuts), and it didn’t feel lacking. Will make again!
Hey Meghan! I AM SO HAPPY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY LOVE IT! Keep baking and be sure to tag me in your amazing creations! Thanks for your support
This recipe is my first time ever making homemade granola and I love it!! But I found that the 20 minute bake time plus the extra 10 minutes after shifting granola was far too long. I know all ovens are different but I’m curious about whether this has happened to anyone else because the granola isn’t just a bit overdone, it’s burnt! Will definitely try again and bake for shorter time.
I am so sorry your granola burned! It’s happened to me and it’s never nice🥹
You clearly have a super powerful oven so I would try decreasing the temperature to 300 convection and at the 20 minute mark check its status. You don’t want undercooked granola either so keep a watchful eye👀Please report back and tell me what your sweet spot timing and temperature ends up being. Xxxx
Thanks for your thoughtful response! I tried it again in two batches, one at 300 for 20 minutes and one at 320 for 15-17 minutes. Both were great, but I think I prefer 320 for a shorter amount of time for the slightly crunchier result. Most importantly, neither burned!! I love this recipe and all of the flavors!!
I do not have a convection oven altho it is new (yay) and your directions for oven temp says convection. Do I still use the same temp to bake? Eg: 350 convection same for non convection?
Thank you
Hey Daisy, yes you can use the same temperature! Happy baking
Hi, is cacao powder the same as cocoa powder?
Hey Dorothy, Cacao is the raw, unprocessed version of cocoa. Cacao powder tends to be more bitter than cocoa. Thanks!
Hi. I tried this recipe of yours and it turned out perfect. The only change I did was I didn’t add cocoa powder. Thank you so much for this and so many other lovely granola recipes.
I am so glad you like it!!
