Instructions
Preheat oven to 325º F and prepare a baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together oats, pecans, dates, chia seeds, turmeric, and cinnamon. In a smaller separate bowl, combine tahini, maple syrup/honey, vanilla, and ginger. Whisk with a fork until smooth and slowly pour the tahini mixture into the larger bowl of dry ingredients, stirring to combine. (You may find it easier to mix with your hands to finish.) Transfer granola to a baking sheet and bake on the center rack of the oven until edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes before serving. Granola will continue to crispen as it cools.
To make a parfait: mix together yogurt, turmeric, and cinnamon and spoon about ⅓ of the yogurt into a wide-mouthed jar or a bowl and layer about ⅓ of the fruit and granola on top. Repeat with another layer of yogurt, fruit, and granola and again until all of the ingredients are used and enjoy! (Granola and yogurt may be prepared separately in advance but parfaits are best enjoyed immediately after assembly to maintain the crunchy texture of the granola.)
