- 2 ripe bananas, peeled
- 4 cups rolled oats (or buckwheat if gluten free)

Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
-
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.
-
Step 3
Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix until very well combined.
-
Step 4
Spread the granola over two lined baking trays.
-
Step 5
Bake the granola for 20 minutes. Mix the granola 10-15 minutes into the baking time to prevent the edges from burning.
-
Step 6
Allow the granola to cool on the baking tray.
-
Step 7
Serve with plant-based milk or yoghurt. The granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Hot tip!
The oven is at a lower temperature than normal because the sweeteners and nuts are likely to burn easily.
