Servings 8 cups
Calories 405kcal
Ingredients
- 8 cups oats rolled
- 1 cup dates pitted
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup cacao nibs
- ½ pecans chopped
Instructions
- Take your pitted dates and water and add them to a blender. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
- Cook your date puree in a large pot over medium heat just until the mixture starts to boil. Add in your salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir to combine.
- Add your oats to the pot and stir so they are evenly coated with the date mixture. Allow the oats to cook another 5 minutes while stirring periodically to keep from burning.
- Mix in your chopped pecans and pour the granola onto two baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 20 min with one sheet on the middle rack and one on the rack below.
- After 20 minutes, give each sheet a stir with a spatula, switch the rack placement, and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Allow the granola to cool, mix in your cacao nibs and store in an airtight container.
