Chocolate Sesame Granola:
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup tahini (or peanut butter)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons oil (I use olive or coconut.)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
optional: 1/4 cup dried cherries
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 325.
Combine oats, flaxseed, seeds, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk peanut butter, sugar, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Add wet to dry. Stir until oats are coated.
Transfer mixture to baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips on top and let melt for a few minutes, then stir. Let cool and enjoy (or eat warm, yum!). Store in an airtight container.
