Chunky Banana & Chocolate Granola
Servings 2 lire jar
Calories 1635kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cup walnuts
- 3/4 cup almonds
- 3/4 cup flaxseed
- 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup coconut, shredded, desiccated or flakes
- 150 g dark chocolate min. 70% (optional, but add dates in the banana pure instead)
- 1.5 ripe banana, chopped into very small pieces
Banana cream
- 3 large very ripe bananas
- 1.5 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp ground vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cardamome
- Tip: Add 4-6 dates for extra sweetness (especially if you do not add chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150 °C /300 °F (with fan).
- Blend all the ingredients for the banana cream and transfer to a bowl. Coarsely chop almonds, walnuts and chocolate. Add all the granola ingredients into the bowl with the banana cream and use your hands to mix it very well together.
- Divide the granola evenly on a baking sheet, use two baking racks if you have a normal sized oven, since it is important that it does not lay in a too thick layer in order to get roasted properly.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 min. Stir it around and break it a part into smaller chunks every 10 min, and remove from the oven as soon as it seems golden and watch out that the chocolate does not burn.
- let the granola cool completely before you pour it into air tight glasses. Serve the granola on top of yoghurt & fresh berries or with fruit and ice cold milk. Or top you morning smoothie or banana pancakes with a sprinkle of granola.
