This granola is the granola of your tropical dreams. Bananas, toasted coconut, roasted cashews, maple syrup. Think tropical banana bread but in granola form. I’m totally addicted.

And I’m not the only one addicted to it. My sister and Steve have been munching on this granola too … and, well let’s just say that it only lasted about a day and a half in our house.

This granola is embarrassingly easy to make and a lot healthier than your typical store-bought granola. It doesn’t have all of those added sugars because bananas are the main sweetener here (extra ripe bananas work best here). The bananas are mashed and heated up with coconut oil, maple syrup, a sprinkle of coconut sugar (aka the secret to extra crispy granola clusters), and a touch of vanilla.

Then, you pour liquid-y mixture over your old fashioned oats and cashews and mix until everything is well coated. Once everything is well combined, you spread the oat mixture onto a baking sheet and stick into the oven. About 30 minutes later, you add the coconut flakes and banana chips and bake another 15 minutes. You see?? Easy!

The hardest part comes at the very end … you have to let the granola cool COMPLETELY and try to resist eating it all before it does. The granola will harden up as it cools, so this step is extra important.

Enjoy the granola with a splash of milk, with some yogurt, or just snack on it by the handful!
