Banana Bread Granola
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup mashed banana
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
- Optional: 1/2 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add coconut oil, banana, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl, and mix until well combined. Try to remove the big chunks of banana, but it’s OK if a few small chunks remain.
- Add oats, and mix until each and every oat is coated with your wet mixture.
- Turn oat mixture out on the prepared baking sheet and form into a thin rectangle. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until oats are toasty and golden brown. Halfway through the cooking time, be sure to GENTLY mix the granola – you don’t want to break up all of the big chunks that will form. During the last 5 minutes of the cooking time, add in your raisins and optional walnuts.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container (I’m partial to mason jars).
