July 13-14, 2011: Toasty Tahini Granola (Breakfast Series Business Office Xii)

my best recipe as well as wouldn't move needing whatever more. Every other recipe I've e'er seen earlier or since is amount of fossil oil as well as carbohydrate as well as only doesn't appear correct for breakfast. Then, a few months ago, Jennifer of It Ain't Meat, Babe posted a granola recipe that floored me. Instead of fossil oil as well as carbohydrate it used tahini as well as maple syrup. TAHINI. That is genius correct there.

To move honest, the tahini isn't obvious inwards the destination production (and I'm tempted to role a picayune to a greater extent than adjacent time) but it is for sure contributing to the unrivalled crunchy golden brown-ness of this granola. The maple syrup, pecans as well as kokosnoot are only gorgeous but I'm certain I'll uncovering myself tinkering amongst those too (moar coconut! dissimilar nuts! fruit juice!). But don't accept these plans every bit whatever sort of slight on the master copy recipe - this granola has brought a smiling to my expression upwardly every morn I've eaten it (and for 1 1am dinner besides).

Toasty tahini granola
(very slightly adapted from a recipe at It Ain't Meat, Babe)

three cups rolled oats
1/2 loving cup pecans, around chopped
1/2 loving cup shredded coconut
1/4 loving cup flax seeds
1 tablespoon soil cinnamon
1/4 loving cup tahini
two tablespoons sunflower oil
1/4 loving cup maple syrup

Preheat an oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray amongst paper.

In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, pecans, coconut, flax seeds as well as cinnamon.

In a carve upwardly modest bowl, whisk the fossil oil into the tahini until smoothen as well as and thence whisk inwards the maple syrup. (If the tahini is lumpy, endeavour melting the mixture on the stove or inwards a microwave.)

Pour the moisture ingredients over the dry out ingredients as well as mix them together - endeavour to larn an fifty-fifty distribution amongst every bit picayune stirring every bit possible. You mightiness fifty-fifty similar to exit a few clumps.

Spread the granola out evenly onto the baking tray. Bake it for 30-40 minutes, until evenly golden, stirring the granola at 10 infinitesimal intervals for fifty-fifty baking.
