Banana Honey Nut Granola

We absolutely adore granola - it's genuinely what gets us out of bed most mornings. So we've come up with another little granola recipe working in some of our favourite ingredients; almond butter, banana, and honey.

We love making homemade granola because often shop bought varieties are packed with unnecessary sugar - and I know this granola still has sugar in it, but it is much more natural and unrefined (in the form of the banana and organic honey) which is better than any processed rubbish.

Ingredients:

400g oats
1 large banana
2 tbsps almond butter
2 tbsps honey (can be replaced with date syrup)
3 tbsps melted coconut oil
100g nuts (we used a mix of walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds)


Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 125˚C.
2. Mash the banana in a small bowl.
3. Add the oats and nuts into a large mixing bowl, and then add the almond butter, honey, mashed banana, and coconut oil and mix it well so that no oats are left at the bottom of the bowl.
4. Line a baking tray with some more coconut oil and spread the mixture evenly.
5. Bake for 30 minutes, but after the first 15 minutes turn it around with a spoon so that it doesn't turn into a granola bar.
6. Leave to cool and set so it becomes crunchy.


Our favourite thing at the moment is having it with banana 'ice cream' (frozen bananas blended with almond milk and raw cacao powder).



Yummyyyy!
