Banana Bread Granola

Isn't this a baking blog?

Granola's baked!


Pure health. See that? Oats, seeds, and nuts.



Even healthier, bananas. Pretend you don't see that butter...



Walnuts, seeds, spice, and everything awesome. You thought I was going to say nice.



Banana Bread Granola

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup butter
3 overripe bananas
6 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat,  heat the honey, syrup, butter, and bananas until the butter is melted. Use a potato masher to smash the bananas.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. Mix until combined.
4. Add the warm banana mixture to the oats and mix until combined.
5. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and mix again to evenly coat. Place back on the tray and bake for another 20 minutes. Let cool.
