Oil-free granola with natural sweeteners.
These turned out super crunchy when baked in the oven! Be sure to flip them every 15 minutes to avoid burnt granola clusters!
You know they're crunchy clusters when they are lightly browned!
This is definitely great for a budget friendly granola breakfast and it is better than store bought granola as there won't be artificial additions in the recipe.
Make them in batches and have them throughout the week!
The use of a ripe banana
A ripe banana will be easier to mash and will provide a natural sweetness to the granola.

Wonder where I got that beautiful blue/green bowl from?
It's from ferm living.
Its stainless steel on the outside and glass on the inside. Love it!
