Banana Bread Granola

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 F (162 C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Add in the tahini, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the oats, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds.

Step 4

Spread the mixture flat onto a baking tray lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Step 5

Bake for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to flip your granola, then return to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes.

Step 6

Once golden, remove from the oven and stir in your chopped dates.

Step 7

The granola will get crunchier as it cools, so wait until it is room temperature before consuming! Store in an air-tight container for two weeks or in the fridge for a month. Enjoy on yogurt, with milk, or on it’s own!
