Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mash or puree banana in large bowl. Stir in Becel with Oat Beverage margarine, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
- Stir in oats and walnuts. Spread mixture evenly onto prepared baking pans.
- Bake 25 minutes until oats are golden brown. Stir once during cooking and rotate baking sheets halfway through cooking.
- Cool completely on wire rack. Stir in banana chips, dried berries and chocolate chips. Store granola in airtight container or jar for up to 1 month. Makes about 6 cups granola.
~ If you like granola that's on the chunkier side, stir gently to avoid breaking up the clumps. If you prefer a more crumbly granola, toss it a bit at the halfway point to break it up.
~ To make a tropical-style Banana Bread Granola, omit chocolate chips and dried berries, and stir in 1/2 cup coconut flakes and 1/2 cup chopped dried mango.
