Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or coconut oil
- 1/2 banana, peeled and mashed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups oats
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300° F.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or spread a thin layer of oil.
Mix banana together with the oil, honey, and cinnamon.
Stir in the oats until everything is well combined.
Spread the granola mixture out on the baking tray.
Make sure the mixture spreads thin and evenly, otherwise some of it will burn (use multiple baking trays if necessary).
Bake for 60 minutes, mixing it thoroughly every 15 minutes, until the mixture starts to turn golden brown.
Allow to cook until granola hardens.
To cool quickly, place the baking tray in the fridge or freezer.

Nutrition Tip 
Granola, similar to trail mix, is often rolled into snack-sized bars resulting in a great on the go snack. It’s often combined with yogurt, honey, strawberries, bananas, and other types of cereals to boost nutritional value.
Granola was invented in the United States as a food consisting of whole grain products crumbled and then baked until crisp. It was once primarily used by hikers and campers because it is lightweight, energy dense and easy to store. However, today, many people eat granola in a variety of ways.
