Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 large banana, overripe
- 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup, divided
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Sea salt to taste
Optional add ins
- Pecans
- Almonds
- Chocolate chips
- Options are endless!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toss oats, cinnamon and sea salt in a large bowl then set aside.
- In a separate bowl mash your banana completely with a form until it resembles an apple sauce texture.
- In a skillet over medium heat combine mashed banana, almond butter and 1/3 cup of your maple syrup. Stir until a thick mixture starts to form.
- Pour your maple mixture over the oats and stir with a wooden spoon until fully combined.
- Spread oats evenly over a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- When granola is ready, pour your remaining 2 Tbsp of maple syrup over the granola and toss the oats with a spoon. If you prefer your granola extra sweet I recommend adding an extra tablespoon. You must do this step right after the granola is done baking in the oven. If you wait then your granola will be soggy.
- Let the oats cool completely before eating or storing in a jar. This step is mandatory because as the oats cool that is when they become crunchy!
- Store in a glass jar at room temperature.
