Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup mashed banana ripe
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar dark or light brown
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup chopped banana chips
- ⅓ cup mini dark chocolate chips or mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
- Add rolled oats and pecans to medium sized mixing bowl, set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mashed banana, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
- Pour banana mixture over oat mixture and stir to combine and equally coat.
- Add mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the top with kosher salt.
- Add to the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so the granola does not burn. You know your granola is ready to remove from the oven after it's brown and lightly toasted.
- Let the granola cool for about 15 minutes and stir in banana chips and chocolate chips.
- Stir to combine and let completely cool.
- Serve overtop yogurt, sprinkled on oatmeal or eat by the handful.
