Tahini Granola

This Tahini Granola is one of those recipes that feels indulgent and nourishing at the same time. It’s rich, nutty, lightly sweet, and perfectly crunchy, with that deep, almost caramel-like flavour that tahini and dates create together. Unlike many store-bought granolas, this one doesn’t rely on refined sugars or syrups – the sweetness comes naturally from Medjool dates and dried fruit, while tahini brings a creamy, toasted depth that makes every bite feel satisfying.

It’s incredibly versatile too. Enjoy it with milk or yogurt for a comforting breakfast, sprinkle it over smoothie bowls for extra crunch, or even grab it by the handful as a snack. This is the kind of granola that keeps you full, energised, and genuinely excited for breakfast again.
