Ingredients
 

Wet ingredients

  • 1 ½ (120 g) medium banana weight without skin
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) coconut oil melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Dry ingredients

  • ½ cup (75 g) almonds
  • ½ cup (75 g) hazelnuts or pecans
  • 1 ½ cups (165 g) rolled oats gluten-free if needed

Instructions
 

  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Chopped almonds and hazelnuts on a small wooden chopping board.
    Nuts: Roughly chop the almonds and hazelnuts with a knife.
  • Blended brown banana-cinnamon mixture in glass mixing bowl.
    Wet ingredients: Blend (don't mash) the banana with an immersion blender in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Alternatively, blend everything in a small blender and add it to a bowl.
  • Wet granola mixture with oats, almond, and hazelnuts in a glass mixing bowl.
    Dry ingredients: Add the chopped almonds, hazelnuts, and oats to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
  • Unbaked granola spread out on a stainless steel baking sheet lined with white parchment paper.
    Bake: Press the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack of your oven (fan mode).
  • Golden brown baked granola clusters on a baking sheet lined with white parchment paper.
    Flip the granola with a spatula and make sure to bring the granola from the edges towards the center (as it tends to be a little more golden than the rest). Bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Cool: Let the granola cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.

Notes

Storage: You can store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week (if it lasts that long).
