This oil-free homemade granola is filled with Mediterranean-flavored goodness. Instead of using olive oil or coconut oil, I use tahini which adds healthy fat and nutrients without losing that crunchy texture.
The tahini adds a bolder nutty flavor, which is enhanced by the addition of toasted sesame seeds. The pinch of cardamom adds a hint of surprise in every bite while pairing perfectly with almonds and pistachios. Decent amount of maple syrup and raisins are added for sweetness without overpowering the delicious savoriness of the granola! 
Top granola on your favorite non-dairy milk or yogurt or alone!! Crunchy and savory, this healthy granola will be your new favorite breakfast or snack!! Enjoy!
quick notes
- For granola recipes, I would typically encourage people to substitute or add other nuts or seeds but the pistachios, almonds and sesame seeds are key in achieving the bold, nutty mediterranean flavor.
- In order to get an even golden bake, make sure to rotate the pan at the half way mark.
