Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

2 cups pitted or chopped dates
1/2 cup walnuts roasted peanuts, or almonds
2 tablespoons of sesame tahini
1 1/4 cups hot water
1/4 cup honey or agave, or maple syrup
1 tablespoons vanilla
1 tablespoons molasses
1 tsp maple flavoring
3/4 tsp salt
42 ounces old-fashioned rolled oats about 14 cups
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, or more
1 - 2 cups slivered almonds coarsely chopped walnuts, and/or roasted peanuts roasted peanuts

Instructions

Breheat oven to 200°F [93°C]
Place dates and 1/2 cup nuts in blender. Add hot water, honey, vanilla, molasses, maple flavoring and salt.
Blend for about a minute until smooth.
Place the oats, coconut, and nuts in a roasting pan or very large mixing bowl.
Add blended mix to the oats in the large bowl and gently mix together with your hands.
Work the wet and dry mixtures together for several minutes until all the oats are all very evenly moistened and coated.
Place in large cake pans or cookie sheets, taking care not to pack or pat it down tightly. Keep it light and airy.
Place pans in oven at 200°F [93°C] for about 8-10 hours. (I usually use a spatula to turn the granola a couple of times during the baking process.)
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
