Banana Bread Granola! Do you love banana bread? That sweet freshly baked aroma? Well this granola smells just like homemade banana bread! Sweetened with mashed banana, maple syrup and spiced with ground cinnamon. 

This easy one bowl granola is wonderful to enjoy in the mornings over your yoghurt and fruit or served as a bowl of cereal (my personal favourite). It’s not only nourishing with added chia seeds, hazelnuts and coconut oil but the flavour resembles delicious heartwarming banana bread. Or banana muffins, whatever your favourite way to enjoy banana in baking! 

After you have made and baked the granola, you’ll then be stirring through coconut flakes and banana chips after it’s cooled down. They’ll add extra crunch and even more banana thanks to the chips. Have you ever had them before? They’re dried banana slices that are crisp but still hold their sweetness. Perfect to add to granola! 
Pop your oven on, get out your mixing bowl and get ready to enjoy your very own banana bread granola. Enjoy friends!
