If you love banana bread + granola give this recipe a try. It combines both of those, plus it is super simple to make and it tastes amazing! Delicious with yogurt, milk or just straight out of the jar for a quick healthy snack. I'm beginning to think it's magic because of how fast it has disappeared. ;)

and my portion forever.
