Grain-Free Banana Granola (fruit-sweetened!)

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Vegan

Crunchy, healthy and fruit-sweetened, grain-free banana granola makes the perfect breakfast or snack. Mix it into yogurt, a smoothie bowl or with your favorite non-dairy milk. It’s even good by the handful!

Grain-free banana granola

This granola makes the house smell like banana bread and it’s even reminiscent of eating it, too. The banana flavor is prominent and pairs so well with the nutty, toasty flavors of the granola. I’m super impressed with how it turned out. But, beware, it is a bit addictive!

Grain-free banana granola

 

So, what exactly is in this fruit-sweetened grain-free banana granola? Other than the obvious banana part, there’s unsweetened coconut chips, walnuts, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt and coconut oil. It is easy to adapt, so feel free to swap any of the nuts or seeds for something else. I think pecans would be especially delicious in this recipe and serve as a great substitute for the almonds or walnuts.

Grain-free banana granola

When baking, be sure to stir the granola every 15 minutes to allow for even browning. In total, the granola takes about 40-45 minutes and will be a deep golden brown once done. Watch out, it’s hard to resist while cooling and you may find yourself nibbling at it right from the pan!

Cheers and enjoy!
