Servings: 10
Ingredients
- Oats
- 3 cups
- Bananas
- 2 large, mashed
- Dried bananas
- 1 cup, chopped
- Pecans
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Almonds
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Honey
- 1/4 cup
- Coconut oil
- 1/4 cup, melted
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, mashed bananas, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, dried bananas, honey, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well-coated and evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to harden as it cools.
- Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or as a nutritious snack on its own.
