Description
This delicious Strawberry Banana Granola recipe puts a fun twist on my all-time favorite homemade granola recipe. Freeze dried strawberries and dried banana chips add gorgeous color and a delicious serving of fruit to this wholesome treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries
- 1/2 cup dried banana chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine oats, nuts and chia seeds (if using) in a large bowl and toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, honey, vanilla extract and salt.
- Pour honey mixture over the dry ingredients and toss until evenly combined. Spread the mixture onto prepared baking sheet to create one even layer.
- Place baking sheet in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Granola will be fragrant and golden at the edges when cooked. Remove baking sheet from oven and, use a rubber spatula to gently press the granola into the pan. Allow to cool completely.
- When completely cool, use a spatula to begin gently breaking the granola into pieces. If preferred, dump the entire pan into a large bowl and break granola into pieces with your hands. Add the strawberries and bananas and toss until evenly mixed.
Notes
Granola will store for up to three weeks in an airtight container.
