Banana Granola

Banana granola is nutty, crunchy & sweet!  Packed with vanilla flavor, this banana bread granola is clustery and makes the perfect breakfast or snack.

For gluten-free use gluten-free oats!

This banana granola is great for quick and easy breakfasts – just add some milk!  What a great and thoughtful gift to give to someone.  I like to make a big batch and it lasts several weeks.  

You can add any dried fruit you prefer or substitute the bananas for dried fruit.

Ingredients:

• Old fashioned rolled oats
• Pecans
• Golden flaxseed
• Cinnamon
• Sea salt
• Butter
• Maple syrup
• Vanilla extract
• Egg white
• Banana chips

How to make banana granola:

1. Gather and measure the ingredients.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Add the oats, pecans, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl.
5.  Whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a small bowl.
6.  Pour the butter mixture onto the oat mixture and stir to combine. Add the egg white and stir to coat.
7.  Spread the granola out onto a large baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, tossing once halfway through.
8.  Stir in the banana chips and bake until the oats are golden, about 15 minutes more. The granola will get crunchier as it cools.
9.  Cool to room temperature and then store covered at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Recipe Tips:

• The egg white helps the granola form clusters. You can omit it if you choose.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a month.
