Banana Bliss Granola Recipe

Get ready to indulge in a sweet and satisfying snack that combines the best of both worlds – crunchy granola and ripe bananas! This mouthwatering recipe yields a whopping 4 cups of goodness that can be stored for weeks, perfect for munching on the go.

The Perfect Blend

To create this scrumptious treat, we’re combining old-fashioned oats, coarsely chopped pecans, and flaxseed meal with a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. The sweetness comes from light brown sugar, while pure maple syrup and coconut oil add a rich, velvety texture.

Dehydrated Bananas: The Game-Changer

What sets this recipe apart is the use of dehydrated banana slices, which provide a soft, tender texture that complements the crunchy granola perfectly. If you prefer a crunchier snack, feel free to substitute with banana chips instead!

Let’s Get Baking!

Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, then whisk together the wet ingredients and pour them into the oat mixture. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. During the last 10 minutes, add in the coconut flakes for an extra burst of flavor.

The Final Touch

Once the granola has cooled completely, toss in the dehydrated bananas and store the mixture in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your banana bliss granola with a dollop of tart Greek yogurt for the ultimate comfort food experience!
