Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw walnuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large ripe banana pureed or mashed* (see note)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or up to 1/2 cup if you prefer a sweeter granola
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter melted
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened banana chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 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.
