Chunky banana granola with peanut butter and coconut makes a healthy, hearty, delicious breakfast. This naturally vegan granola is also great for guilt-free snacking!
Combine oats, walnuts, coconut, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Puree banana with an immersion blender or mash thoroughly with a fork. Melt peanut butter and coconut oil.
Add pureed banana, melted peanut butter and coconut oil, and maple syrup to oatmeal mixture and stir until well coated.
Spread evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with a baking mat or parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and fairly dry, stirring once, halfway through.
Remove from oven, place the baking sheet on a cooling rack and and cool completely.
Sprinkle with banana chips and store in an airtight container.

Notes
*Try to get all the lumps out of the mashed banana, as lumps will prevent the granola from drying out completely. I like to use an immersion blender to puree the banana, but a thorough mashing with a fork will work too.Store granola in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
