Chunky Blueberry Banana Granola

Total Time1 hour
Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 and 1/2 cups rolled oats*
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds
  • 1/2 cup dried blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F then link a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, use a fork to mash together the banana with the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt, until smooth. It’s okay if there are a few small bits of banana, just try to get it as smooth as you can.
  • Next add the oats, cinnamon, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds (or whatever seeds/nuts you prefer) and dried blueberries to the bowl and stir everything together. Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and pack it together with your hands in a large rectangle.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 50 minutes, stirring the granola half way through. Baking it for 50 minutes should result in a somewhat crunchy texture. If you rather have a less crunchy granola with more flavor, then feel free to cook it for a shorter period of time.
  • Allow to the granola to cool for about 20 minutes then transfer to a large bowl or container for storing. Serve immediately or store for later. It will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

*Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats for allergies
