Ingredients 

​

• 2.5 cups of rolled oats

• 3/4 cup bran buds

• 1/4 cup chia seeds

• 1/2 cup whole almonds (or other nuts like cashews, walnuts), coarsely chopped 

• 1/2 cup dried figs, coarsely chopped

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 small ripe bananas, mashed

• 3 tbsp Coconut oil

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

​

Instructions 

​

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper

2. In a small bowl combine the coconut oil and maple syrup together and microwave for 20-30 seconds

3. Meanwhile, add all other ingredients, including the mashed bananas into a large mixing bowl. Add coconut oil mixture once completely melted. Mix ingredients together until well combined

4. Distribute mixture in a single layer between the two baking sheets so it brown’s nice and evenly

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Allow granola to become a nice golden brown for that delicious toasted flavour

6. Remove from the oven and let it cool. Store in and air right jar.
