Cinnamon Sugar Granola
Servings: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 1 + ½ cups oats any type of oats will work
- ¼ cup nut butter of choice cashew, peanut or almond butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ 1 banana mashed
- ½ cup nuts or seeds of choice whatever you have on hand! (crushed walnuts, sliced almonds, hemp seeds, flax seed etc.)
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt to taste
Optional (for more flavour)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts, nut butter, honey, cinnamon, mashed banana, vanilla extract, and salt
- Evenly spread and press the granola onto a prepared baking sheet in one large piece (it should easily stick together). You can press it down until it’s about ¼ inch thick.
- If using: combine the optional sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the top of the granola before putting it in the oven.
- Bake granola for 30-35 minutes or until the edges start to brown
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least one hour to allow the granola to harden
- After the granola has cooled, break it into pieces (I like bigger chunks) toss with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture, and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
