Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line one large or two small baking trays with baking paper.
step 2
Melt the tahini, oil, maple syrup in a large pan, then sprinkle in the salt. Tip the oats, pistachios, macadamias and mixed seeds into a large bowl. Once the tahini mixture is melted and combined, pour onto the oats and stir well to coat.
step 3
Spread out onto a baking tray, clumping some bits together to help create texture. Bake for 35-40 mins, stirring gently halfway. Leave to cool on the baking tray.
step 4
Once cool, stir in the milled seeds and chopped fruit. Transfer to a large jar – the granola will keep in an airtight jar for four weeks.
step 5
Serve with yogurt, chopped fruit and a drizzle of pistachio cream, if you like.
