Ingredients
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 4 T coconut oil
  • 2-4 T brown sugar (optional)
  • ½ t freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 1½ T unsweetened fair trade cocoa powder
  • ½ t sea salt
  • 6 c old-fashioned oats
  • 1 c coconut (optional)
  • 1½ c chopped walnuts
  • 1 c smashed banana chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300°. Puree bananas in a food processor until they are liquefied. Add bananas, oil, sugar, spices, salt and cocoa powder to a saucepan and heat over a medium flame. Stir until sugar is melted and everything else is mixed. You may want to taste before choosing to add sugar.
  2. In a large bowl combine oats, nuts and coconut. Stir until well mixed. Pour chocolate mixture over the oat mixture and stir until everything is coated evenly. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Spread the mixture over both pans.
  3. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until granola is nicely toasted and dry. Every 10 minutes, stir the granola and change the pan rotation in your oven. Once ready, allow the granola to cool completely. Stir in banana chips. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy!
