Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup plant-based butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon banana extract*
• 2 bananas, mashed*

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or aluminum foil).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
  3 cups old fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup chopped walnuts, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• Whisk together the wet ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
  ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup plant-based butter, melted, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 bananas, mashed*, 1/2 teaspoon banana extract*
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together to coat all of the dry ingredients.
• Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet.
• Bake the granola for 35 minutes, stirring after the first 15 minutes. Watch the granola carefully towards the end of the baking time to make sure the granola doesn't burn.
• Once the granola is done baking, remove from the oven and let it cool completely. The granola will get crunchier once it is cooled.
• Store in an air tight container for up to a month.

Notes

*If you don't have any bananas, you can use 1 packet of Quaker Oats Banana Flavored Instant Oatmeal. If using the packet add it to the dry mix.
