This granola is full of wholesome ingredients, oats, seeds, nuts, and it’s naturally sweetened with dates, which gives it the beautiful caramelly flavor that I adore so much.

Instructions
If you have time, soak your dates for 3 hours or overnight in the fridge. This will make the following step much easier.
In a food processor, add the pitted dates, tahini, and 4 Tbsp of the soaking water. Blend until smooth. The consistency should be a little bit drippy. If not, add more water to blend until it gets to the ideal texture (as the picture in the post). Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Preheat the oven at 150 / 300 F.
In a big mixing bowl, add all the rest ingredients. Give them a mix. Then add the date-tahini mixture. Mix all together until all ingredients are covered with the date-tahini paste.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Spread the mixture onto the sheet into a single, even layer.
Bake at 150°C / 300°F for 25~30 minutes. Give it a stir in the middle to let it be more crumbly.
Once baked through, leave it in the oven to cool down completely before breaking into smaller chunks. EAT!
