Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Ripe banana, mashed
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil, mixing until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated. The mixture should be slightly sticky and clump together.

Step 5

Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly with a spatula to form an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. To ensure even baking, rotate the pan halfway through the cooking process.

Step 7

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will harden into clusters.

Step 8

Break the cooled granola into clusters of your desired size. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
