Banana Bread Granola

  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. ;)

3 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup English walnuts (chopped, optional)

1/2 cup pecans (chopped, optional)

3 tbsp raw sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp flax seeds

1 tbsp sunflower seeds

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

1 ripe banana, mashed

Remove from heat and whisk in banana puree. Pour over dry ingredients and mix together well. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350º for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once halfway through baking. Let cool completely then store in an air tight jar or container.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.
