  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup butter, unsalted, melted, or ghee or coconut oil

Preparation Instructions

Blend the bananas and peanut butter. Aim for about 1 1/2 cups of banana puree. Add enough melted butter or oil to create two cups worth of liquid.

Preheat the oven to 325. Toss the rolled oats with the liquid and salt. Spread into a baking sheet, pressing into the pan slightly.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, tear the dried banana into pieces and chop the peanuts.

Flip the granola as if it is brittle, attempting to keep the granola in large pieces. Continue to bake, checking and flipping every 15-20 minutes until dried out and baked through.

Toss in the dried bananas and peanuts for the final 10-20 minutes of baking. Also, drizzle with honey at this time if you prefer your granola sweeter.

It could take an hour or more before the granola is fully dried out.
