Description

This homemade granola is an easy and delicious snack food to keep around for when hunger hits.

Ingredients

  • 3-½ cups Rolled Oats
  • 2-½ cups Puffed Rice Cereal
  • ⅓ cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
  • ⅓ cups Pureed Pineapple
  • ⅓ cups Mashed Banana
  • ⅓ cups Applesauce
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 dash Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Extract
  • 1 cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut, Lightly Toasted
  • 1 cup Dried Pineapple, Chopped
  • 1 cup Dried Banana Chips, Chopped
  • ½ cups Macadamia Nuts, Toasted And Chopped

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats and puffed rice cereal. Stir to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pineapple puree, mashed banana, applesauce, salt, cinnamon and coconut extract. Whisk until very smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the oat mixture and stir gently with a spatula until the oat mixture is evenly coated. Spread on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Bake for 30 minutes. Using a large, wide spatula, turn sections of the granola over on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, until nearly completely dried. If your granola layer is thick, you may need to bake it a bit longer, removing the edges that have cooked completely but making sure the center is done.

Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then crumble into a large airtight storage container. Add toasted coconut, dried pineapple, banana chips, and macadamia nuts to the container. Seal and shake well until everything is evenly combined.
