Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, walnuts, almonds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated with the banana mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Keep an eye on it during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Break the cooled granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
