Preparation duration: 8 minutes

Cooking duration: 22 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 medium ripe banana, mashed ( - 1/2 cup)

1/2 Tbsp cinnamon

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 Tbsp flax seed

1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp maple syrup, agave or honey if not vegan

1/2 cup pecans

3 Tbsp raw sugar

3 cups rolled oats (GF for gluten free eaters)

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup walnuts

Equipment:

oven

sauce pan

whisk

bowl

baking sheet

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 350.Mix the oats, cinnamon, sugar, salt, flaxseed and nuts together in a large bowl (see photo).In a small saucepan over medium low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup (or agave or honey) and vanilla extract. Once liquidy, remove from heat and whisk in banana puree until well combined. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.Spread the mixture evenly onto one or two baking sheets (making sure it doesn't get crowded) and bake for 23-28 minutes or until golden brown. The coconut oil will help it crisp up well, but be sure to watch it carefully as it can brown quickly.NOTE: If you don't toss the granola while baking, it will make get clumpy, which I personally love. But if you want a more crumbly granola, toss/stir a bit at the halfway point to break up the clumps.Once the granola is visibly browned, remove from the oven and toss just a bit to let the heat escape. Cool completely on the baking sheet or in a heat-safe bowl. Store in a container or jar with an air-tight seal - it should keep for a couple weeks.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
