Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 13-by 18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk maple syrup, brown sugar, tahini, olive oil, egg whites, if using, and vanilla until smooth.
- Step 3
Stir in oats, almonds, sesame seeds, salt, ground ginger and cardamom until combined.
- Step 4
Pour mixture onto the prepared sheet pan, spread evenly and transfer to the oven. Bake for 50 minutes, stirring with a spatula or fork after the first 20 minutes and every 10 minutes after, until oats and almonds are golden brown.
- Step 5
Remove sheet pan from oven and stir in crystallized ginger. Turn oven off and return sheet pan to the oven to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Step 6
Granola can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

Try using less sugar and maple syrup.
While this wdn't be my first choice for everyday granola, it's a nice change of pace & quite festive in its ingredients. My tweaks to bring it more in line with my regular granola: -ditch the parchment paper - clean-up is a breeze with granola -replace the brown sugar w/ 1/4C honey -just 4C oats -replace olive oil with coconut oil -almonds can be chopped -double cardamom -bake at 300 for an hour, then add crystallized ginger but do not put back in oven unless you want rock hard ginger chips
I made this exactly as written, and it was amazing. I loved the blend of spices that aren’t in the typical granolas. I’ve been making granola for years and this is definitely the most flavorful recipe I’ve made.
I make a LOT of granola and have tried all kinds of recipes. This is probably my hands down favourite. If you love tahini and halva, this is for you. Only change I make is to cut the salt in half and I find micowaving all the liquids together makes it easier to stir together. Enjoy! FAB!
Prepared as directed (omitted optional egg whites), and it came out perfectly. Seriously addictive on Greek yogurt. Not too sweet. Not too salty. Not too crunchy. And the flavor was fantastic! I used Penzey’s ginger bits, which worked wonderfully.
GREAT Granola!! I used soft-dried ginger - softer than crystalized - chopped into fine granulated sugar to avoid clumping ( use sugar for tea). Added 1 c dried cranberries, 1 c shredded unsw. coconut- doubled cardamom - so so delicious - I also baked at 300 - it was a very high temp in my experience - browned nicely - so so so delicious - would be good with raisins too - It Was NOT too sweet at all!
