I love making my own granola. It so easy and you can vary it endlessly. A good chocolate granola is always a good idea to have at home! I mean, is there anything better than chocolate granola? Well, yes! Chocolate Tahini granola! The tahini give the chocolate that extra boost and lifts it even higher up in the sky. I have two different versions available for this chocolate tahini granola – this nut free – and one grain free as well.
This granola is both sugar and oil free. I prefer my granolas less sweet, so I didn’t add any sweetener to mine at all. But if you prefer your granola a bit sweeter, you can just easily add some liquid sweetener or sweeten it with home made date sauce (its so easy to make, just mix dates with some water in a high speed blender).
Ingredients for this Nut Free Chocolate Tahini Granola:
- Oats
- Pumpkin seeds
- Sunflower seeds
- Flaxseeds
- Coconut flakes
- Cacao powder
- Tahini
- Sea salt
