1 vanilla pod
02 -
1 large ripe banana (about 140g flesh)
03 -
30g coconut oil
04 -
30g maple syrup

→ Dry Ingredients
07 -
200g nuts, seeds and kernels (e.g., sunflower and pumpkin seeds, sesame and flaxseed, walnuts and hazelnuts)
08 -
200g rolled oats
# Instructions:
01 -
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Peel the banana and puree the flesh with vanilla seeds, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt, or mash with a fork until smooth.
02 -
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) fan. Roughly chop larger nuts and kernels or pulse briefly in a food processor so they're evenly sized.
03 -
Mix nuts, rolled oats and the coconut oil marinade evenly in a bowl. Spread the granola mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes, then flip with a spatula and bake for another 15 minutes until the granola dries evenly, toasts and browns.
04 -
Let the finished granola cool on the baking sheet. Transfer to a jar or container, seal tightly and store in a dry, dark place. Will keep for up to 10 days.
# Notes:
01 -
Oats are naturally gluten-free. However, due to growing and production conditions, people with celiac disease should only use oats that are explicitly labeled as gluten-free.

For extra flavor variations, try adding a dash of cardamom or nutmeg to the spice mix.
