TAHINI GRANOLA

Granola! It’s a delicious snack or breakfast addition, but unfortunately most store-bought granolas are packed with refined sugars and poor quality oils. This super easy (really though, you won’t believe how easy) homemade granola is packed with nutrients and flavor. Tahini (aka sesame seed butter) is loaded with healthy fats and essential amino acids and can help reduce blood pressure and cholesterol, and even balance hormones.

This granola goes great with yogurt, on smoothie bowls, in milk, or on its own. It makes a great travel snack too! Feel free to mix things up and substitute whichever nuts and seeds you love most, or whatever you already have on hand – it’s a very forgiving recipe.

Enjoy!
