Salted Caramel Granola

Super Healthy Salted Caramel Granola
Who loves crunchy granola with a sweet-salty twist?
Then this healthy salted caramel granola is just right for you!
Made without refined sugar but full of flavor – perfect for breakfast, as a yogurt topping, or simply for snacking in between.

Ingredients (for a large batch):

2 cups oats

1 cup almonds

½ cup hazelnuts

½ cup mixed seeds (e.g., pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds)

2 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp tahini

1 cup healthy caramel*

Preparation

1. Prepare the healthy caramel:
Soak 1 cup of dates in hot water for about 10 minutes.
Then blend them with a splash of water, some plant-based milk, and a pinch of Himalayan salt until smooth – and your natural caramel is ready!

2. Mix the granola:
In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, seeds, maple syrup, coconut oil, tahini, and the date caramel.
Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

3. Bake:
Spread the mixture on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
👉 If you like larger crunchy clusters, don’t stir during the first 8 minutes.

Once cooled, the granola becomes wonderfully crunchy and smells deliciously like caramel.

Tip:

Store the granola in an airtight jar – it will stay fresh for weeks.
It tastes amazing with yogurt, almond milk, or simply as a crunchy snack on the go!
