This is my all time favourite granola. It’s got minimal ingredients, is super clumpy and has a light banana taste!
After baking for 20 minutes it’s a little soft but holds together beautifully. All you have to do is flip it over and break it up into chunks before baking for a further 15 minutes.
My favourite way to enjoy it is of course with a mound of my favourite Glenisk Greek yogurt and some fresh fruit. I’m loving apricots and peaches at the moment, I think I’m just drawn to them because orange is my favourite colour.
Unlike nut butter in my oats or yogurt bowls, I don’t and can’t save my granola for those last bites. More often than not I’ve nibbled it off the top and end up just going back for an extra handful.
What I also love about this granola is the subtle waft of sweet banana that oozes from the oven and circulates throughout the surrounding rooms, lingering for at least a couple of hours. Who needs scented candles!!!
