GRANOLA INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups gluten free oats

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 320 convection or 325 degrees regular.
  • In a large bowl mix dry ingredients together and set aside.
  • In a small pot, combine tahini, maple syrup and olive oil until it melds together, remove from heat and add in vanilla.
  • Add wet to dry and mix until well incorporated. You will most likely need 2 cookie sheet pans (or 1 large pan. I love my Pampered Chef ceramic pan) to spread mixture evenly.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn pans and bake for an additional 10. Keep an eye on it as you don't want it to burn.
