Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup walnuts
- 3/4 cup pecans
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 overripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine rolled oats, walnuts, pecans, ground cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Mix together. Add mashed banana, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix to evenly coat all of the oats and nuts.
- Spread granola across the baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow granola to cool completely. It will firm while cooling.
- Serve granola with almond milk or sprinkle it on top of smoothie bowls, non-dairy yogurt, and oatmeal.
Notes
- *If your coconut oil is solid at room temperature, add several spoonfuls to a bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds. Once melted, measure 1/4 cup and proceed with the recipe.
- To store, allow the granola to cool completely. Then, transfer it to a mason jar or airtight container. It will keep for at least 1 week.
