Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Add the dates, tahini, and water to a food processor and blend on high until creamy.
- To a large bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and mix.
- Add in the date mixture to the bowl and mix with your hands until well combined.
- Spread the granola evenly on parchment-lined baking tray and press flat.
- Bake in the centre rack of the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, stopping one or two times to stir and flatten again if needed to prevent burning and to ensure the granola cooks evenly.
- When the granola is lightly golden, remove from the oven and let cool on the baking tray. Note the granola continues to harden as it cools.
- When fully cooled, transfer to an airtight container or large glass storage jar.
Notes
- * If the dates are not soft, soak in warm water until softened, drain.
- ** Add the raisins to bake with the rest of the ingredients if you like raisins that are slightly caramelised and hardened. Alternatively, add the raisins after everything is finished baking and stir in so that the raisins remain chewy.

Made this with sunflower seed butter instead of tahini and dried cranberries instead of raisins. I absolutely love this recipe! Delicious and so much cheaper to make at home. Your recipes are a perfect balance of tasty and healthy!
Sadia, your new website is incredible!! I can't believe the new functions....changing the number of servings in a click, all of the nutritional info... Ahhh-mazing. Now I love your site even more. Thanks so much for this brilliant plant-based resource x
Really excited to try this recipe. However, I only have deglet noor dates. Would it still work? Thank you! Really love your recipes!
Hi PUL team, I have a silly question about the dates in this recipe. There is the little star comment saying "If dry, soak in warm water until softened, drain." Does it mean that I can use dried dates? (Maybe it's just my English that's lacking here, so if that's the case, I am sorry). Also, it is a rule that Medjool dates are always sold as a fresh fruit rather than dried fruit? I finally found Medjool dates on one website (Amazon would be very inconvenient for my location), but they are under the section of "dried fruit". There is a mention of them being "sun dried". I am really confused, please help me, I really want to make this recipe work. Love you, Anna.
My favourite granola!! Made it 3 times so far :-)
