Homemade coconut and banana granola

Banana and coconut is a wonderful flavour combination, and when you add honey and oats into the mix, it makes for a dreamy banana granola that’s far simpler and quicker to prepare than you might think.

It’s also far healthier than most packet cereals and comes in at a fraction of the cost of shop-bought granola, so why not give this easy and truly delicious recipe a go?

Here’s how to make this homemade coconut and banana granola.

Ingredients

• 250 g (9 oz) jumbo oats
• 50 g (2 oz) banana chips, roughly broken into 1-2cm pieces
• 25 g (1 oz) coconut chunks or dried slithers
• 6 tbsp runny honey
• 2 tbsp olive oil coconut oil or sunflower oil (plus a little for greasing)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan, 350F). In a bow, mix all of the ingredients together until evenly combined.
2. Press the mix into a greased tray. The idea with this granola is to get nice clusters at the end.
3. Bake for 15-20 until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, then break up into 1-2.5cm pieces. Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

I like mine with yoghurt and a little fresh fruit, but it’s equally delicious with a splash of ice cold milk. How will you eat yours?
