Because I am a cheapskate who loathes raisins, my favorites are Sunbelt Bakery Banana Nut and Trader Joe's Just the Clusters Maple Pecan. But as I munched one morning, I got to thinking. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, pecan nuts and coconut flakes. Add dried fruit and stir until well and evenly mixed.

Instructions to make Banana Pecan Granola:
  1. In large bowl, combine oats, crushed pecans and almonds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, and chocolate chips. Mix together
  2. Pour in mashed banana and mix in till everything is evenly coated.
  3. Using parchment paper, line two baking sheets and spread granola out evenly.
  4. Set the oven to 350° F and let bake for 10 to 15 minutes (I would go closer to 15 if your want a crunchier granola)
  5. After baking, let cool for 10 minutes then store in air tight container in fridge or room temp.

Make sure the dried fruit do not stick together in big batches. In another bowl, combine canola oil, mashed banana and vanilla extract. This recipe combines everything we love in banana bread—its mellow flavor, gentle spice, and nutty crunch—into a tender yet crisp granola that's loaded with dried fruits, whole grains, crunchy seeds, and macadamia nuts. It's perfect over a bowl of yogurt for breakfast, but it's a bang-up topping for ice cream and banana pudding as well. Stir the banana mixture into the oat mixture until well combined and starting to clump together.
