This recipe, adapted from Minimalist Baker, makes a great morning granola to serve with yogurt, milk, or just by itself on the go. The sweetness of the banana and maple is magical! Double the recipe for a big batch.

Ingredients
1and ½ cups rolled oats
½cupchopped walnuts
½cupslivered almondsor sub other nut
1and ½ Tablespoons raw sugar
¼teaspoonsalt
2teaspoonscinnamon
2Tablespoonsground flax seed
⅛cupcoconut oil
3Tablespoonsmaple syrup or honey
½teaspoonvanilla extract
½of a bananamashed
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the dry ingredients (oats through flax seed) together in a big bowl.
Melt the coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla in a small bowl in the microwave (it only took me 20-30 seconds). Add in the mashed banana. Mix to combine, then add to the dry ingredients and stir well to coat the oats.
Spread the mixture on a baking pan (I used 9x13") and bake for 23-26 minutes. Mine was done and toasty at 25. No need to stir if you want big chunks!
Let cool completely on the baking sheet, then store in a jar or other container. I doubt it will last longer than a few days but it's probably fine for up to a couple weeks.
