I love granola! I would eat it every single day if I could. Before my diet changed I would eat it piled on a bowl of yogourt, but now I cover it with cashew milk and devour it by the bowl full! I’ve played around with a lot of granola recipes, but this is my favourite by far!
This granola recipe not only tastes amazing, but it will fill your kitchen with the most delicious banana smell! It’s amazing as a cereal or on top of ice cream or yogourt, or you can eat it right out of the container. I love it!
It’s also packed full of nutritious goodness! Hemp hearts, chia seeds, nuts, and flax seed make it the perfect protein-rich breakfast to start your day!
Simply mix together all of the dry ingredients in one big bowl. Melt the coconut oil with the maple syrup and vanilla, and stir in the mashed banana. Then combine everything together, spread it all out on a baking tray and bake!
Let it cool then break a part and store for up to 2 weeks!
Enjoy! Let me know how your banana granola turns out!
