Maple Tahini Granola (Grain Free)

Lately, I've been obsessed with tahini everything. It's so versatile. It's great for baking, sauces, salad dressings, and even granola. The first time I tried tahini, I didn't really like it. It kind of had to grow on me. But the after trying the maple tahini combo, I was pretty much sold. Now I just have to have tahini in my life. I really love this kind! 

This grain free granola is super easy to make, and it's also very good (of course). In this recipe, I left the nuts whole but you could also pulse yours in the food processor if you want the pieces to be smaller and more of a "granola" like consistency. Either way, the flavors are still good!
