Preheat the oven to 200C.
Blend the dates together with the water, Tahini, vanilla extract and ginger until it is smooth and creamy.
In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients (oats, puffed grains, cacao powder, cinnamon and sugar)
Add the date paste and stir until well combined. Spread the mixture out onto a lined baking tray in a rectangle.
Reduce the temperature to 180C and bake everything for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, break the rectangle into pieces using a wooden spoon. Check on the granola from then on every few minutes and stir it.
Once ready, let everything cool completely. Add the cacao nibs and crystallized/ chocolate covered ginger if using. Store in an airtight container or jar. Enjoy!
