- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup Garden of Life Organic Ground Flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 medium banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup Garden of Life Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, pecans, coconut flakes, flaxseed, and cinnamon. Toss until evenly mixed.
- In a small bowl, mash the banana and mix it with the melted coconut oil and hot water.
- Pour the banana mixture over the nuts and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it down firmly into a large, compact rectangle to encourage clusters.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 15 minutes until the edges are golden-brown and fragrant.

- Once completely cooled, break the granola into large clusters. Enjoy immediately or store for later.
