You only need 9 plant-based ingredients to make this Tahini Cardamom Granola, and it’s Oil Free and Gluten Free too! Plus, the combination of Cardamom, Tahini, and a just a wee pinch of Cinnamon is TO. DIE. FOR.

Like I said, making homemade granola could not be any easier.

First, whisk all of your Wet Ingredients and Spices together in a bowl…

Then add your Dry Ingredients, Mix Well, and spread out onto a Baking Tray.

I opted to use Pumpkin Seeds and Sunflower Seeds in my Granola, but you can use any Nut or Seed of your choice!

Now it’s time for a little secret: press your Granola with a spatula if you want BIG clusters! I actually learned this from watching Erin Ireland‘s (also a vegan chef) Instagram Stories. It’s a total game changer, and I shall be pressing my Granola into every dang Baking Tray from here on out.

I mean, just look at those chunks!

Obviously, you can make them smaller and more mouth-sized if you’d like, too. Just break the Granola up a little more when you flip it halfway through the baking time. And speaking of Baking, another key to Crunchy Granola is to bake it at a lower temperature on the bottom oven rack. That I learned by word of mouth….but it works!

I like to serve this crunchy Tahini Cardamom Granola in a bowl with some Unsweetened Vegan Yogurt, but the possibilities are endless here! It’s also great on top of Oatmeal, Smoothie Bowls, served with Non-Dairy Milk, or on its own as a quick Snack.

However you serve it, I hope you find it JUST as addicting and delicious as I do. If you’re looking for more Vegan Granola recipes, you’ll also love this Peanut Butter Cup Granola and this Holiday Spiced Granola!

A Few Final Thoughts:

As with all Granola recipes, feel free to substitute! As long as you use equal parts of the Nuts/Seeds or dried Fruit, the end result will be a-okay.
I baked my Granola on this reusable Silicone Mat to reduce my waste, but you can also use Parchment Paper or grease the pan if you’d like.
I find that this Granola keeps well (and stays crunchy) at room temperature for about a month. If you’d like it to last even longer, store it in your fridge!
