Chai Granola

I have been enjoying chai tea lately. I had also been wanting to work on a granola that was sweetened with dates. When I came across a Chai spice granola recipe I got excited and decided that I wanted to have a granola that included  nuts for added protein without only having whole nuts in it. This is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy.

This recipe is slightly adapted from Emilie Eats- Chai spice Granola


















Ingredients

2 cups        Oats (large flakes, gluten free if necessary)
11/2 cups  Nuts (I use walnut and pecan)
1/2 cup      Sliced almonds
2 Tbsp       Hemp seeds
1/4 cup      Coconut (shredded, unsweetened)
1/2 Tbsp    Cinnamon
1 tsp           Cardamom 
1 tsp           Ginger
1 tsp           Allspice
1/2 tsp       Cloves
1/2 tsp        Nutmeg
1/4 tsp        Salt
​1/2 cup      Dates
1/2 cup       Water
3 Tbsp        Almond butter

1. Preheat oven to 325F
2. Process nuts in a food processor until finely chopped but not powder. 
3. Mix oats, spices, salt, sliced almonds, coconut and hemp seeds. Add processed nuts.
4. Blend dates in a food processor (soak in warm water if your dates are dry and use that as your water later). Add in 
     almond butter and water (unless previously added) and blend until smooth. 
5. Mix into oat mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
