What ingredients do you need to make Maple Tahini Stovetop Granola?
- Tahini: The runnier the better! You can also use other natural nut/seed butters.It should only contain the nut/seed in question with/without salt.
- Maple Syrup: Or any other liquid sweetener. I personally love the taste of maple syrup with tahini.
- Spices: You can choose anything from cinnamon to pumpkin pie spice. Easy to customize.
- Add Ins: What’s your favorite additions to granola? This part is totally optional, but I personally like adding pepitas, raisins and cacoa nibs. But, definitely make it your own.
How to make your granola on the stove top
- Combine your chosen ingredients in a large saute pan.
- Bring pan up to medium heat and keep stirring. Keep the oats moving to prevent your oats from burning.
- After 5 minutes of stirring, lower the heat slightly and keep stirring for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and sprinkle in your add ins then store to combine.

Once your oats are toasted perfectly, you need to let your granola completely cool. Feel free to keep it in the pan as it cools. Once your granola completely cools, store your granola in a resealable container, preferrably a glass container. Your granola can be stored for up to 2 weeks.

Just made this, and it’s so, so good. The tahini and maple flavors are delicious together! I’ve been on a granola making kick and this is, by far, the best tasting one so far!
So glad you enjoyed this granola! Literally can’t get enough of it and always makes the house smell amazing. 🙂
I made this recipe last night and I’m obsessed! I love how easy and fool-proof it is. Every time I make homemade granola, I always overcook and burn it in the oven. This stove top variation makes it so much easier and faster! Just another bonus, the aromas this granola gives off fills your kitchen with a warm spice. I’ll definitely be making this recipe again!
Yes! This is literally why I love cooking in on the stove top. It’s quick, but I literally will never burn this granola because you are watching it steadily. Thank you so much for trying this recipe!
I think this is the best granola I’ve ever had! Whenever I take a handful, I can never stop eating it. I really love how crispy and toasty the granola gets, and the added flavor from the tahini gives it a really nice depth that is different from all of the other granolas/granola recipes I’ve tried! Thank you!
Aww, I’m so glad you really enjoyed the granola!! Totally makes my day to hear!
Gosh, just did the recipe and it is so delicious – thank you, my oven just broke and googled so many stovetop recipes; yours seemed the « healthiest » and I was intrigued by the tahini in it – it’s simply amazing!
This is the exact reason I made this recipe because I had a similar experience in our old apartment and really wanted granola. So so happy you tried it. The tahini in this is just so yum. 🙂
