Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 3 TBSP coconut oil melted
- 3 TBSP maple syrup
- 1/3 cup buckwheat toasted or activated
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 4 TBSP seeds hemp, sunflower or pumpkin (or a mix!)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut shredded or flaked
optional
- 1/4 cup cacao nibs
- 1 cup dried fruit and/or nuts e.g. walnuts, chopped dried figs, goji berries, currants
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth, then stir through the melted coconut oil and maple syrup.
- Add the buckwheat, oats, cinnamon, seeds, and coconut to the bowl and mix very well so everything is coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared tray, pressing down lightly. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, spread the granola out gently using your hands to release moisture and encourage clumps, then bake for another 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Turn the oven off and open the oven door half way. Leave it for a further 20 minutes to dry a little more and become really crunchy.
- Mix through cacao nibs and your choice of dried fruit or nuts. Allow to cool completely before storing.
