Banana Bread Granola

This week I started prepping and planning recipes to make in bulk for post baby. She's due in just over 9 weeks! WHAT?! This pregnancy has gone lightning fast (after the first trimester, anyways. Woof. So sick.) and I'm just now trying to get my booty into gear on planning, buying and prepping all the things. 

Sweet girl will be in our room for the first year or so, so no nursery was designed this time around. Keeping it simple helps not only your prenatal sanity but your budget as well.

Which lets you spend more on high quality, nutritious food for pregnancy and post-baby! 

Below is my recipe for a DELICIOUS, easy and homemade Banana Bread Granola. Gluten, dairy and refined sugar free, its much healthier than granola's your find in your local health food store and it took no time at all to whip up. I make this in large batches, dry it completely, then store it in a sealed glass container to eat on for the week or for a couple of weeks. 

I'll be making a triple batch pre-baby arrival, as oats are AMAZING for milk production when nursing. 

Also, you could add nuts to this if you like for added protein and crunch, I however am a banana bread purest and don't care for nuts in it. 

​Enjoy!

Banana Bread Granola


Ingredients
  • ​3 cups gluten-free oats (not quick cooking!)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped dried banana chips (I use Sun Tropic for the amazing thin chips) 
  • 1/4 cup avocado or coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup organic raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 banana, smashed


​Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk together gluten free oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and banana chips in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, over low-medium heat, combine the oil, vanilla and honey. Heat until warmed and liquid.  Remove and whisk in banana.
  • Gently mix wet ingredients into the dry until fully incorporated. Spread mixture onto your baking sheet in an even layer. 
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool and dry out completely (this takes about an hour or so).
  • Store in a airtight container and enjoy!

about

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me.  What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet.  I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here. 

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options.
