Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 165°C and line a large tray.

  2. 2

    Blend dates with 3 tablespoons warm water, tahini, olive oil, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix oats and seeds, then work in the date mixture until small clumps form.

  4. 4

    Spread in one layer and bake for 25 minutes, turning large sections once without breaking every cluster.

  5. 5

    Cool fully on the tray before breaking into pieces and storing.

Cooking Tips

  • Press the mixture lightly before baking for larger clusters.
  • Do not seal the granola while warm because trapped steam softens it.
