BANANA GRANOLA WITH CINNAMON, NUTMEG AND WALNUTS
This banana bread-inspired granola uses real mashed banana, coconut oil, cinnamon, nutmeg and toasted nuts. Keeping it simple allows the subtle banana flavor to shine through, but you can tweak the recipe by adding dried coconut flakes, sesame or pumpkin seeds, more spices, or even chocolate chips or dried fruit. Breaking the granola into large clusters halfway through baking ensures the granola cooks evenly. Allow the granola to sit for at least one hour on the counter to harden completely. Double the recipe if you'd like to stock up your freezer. It will keep at least three months there, at the ready for snacking, or can be served for breakfast, in bowls with milk and freshly sliced banana.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Add the mashed banana to a medium saucepan along with the brown sugar and coconut oil. Stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pot comes to a sputtering boil. (You'll hear it popping.) Cook for another 60 to 90 seconds, swirling the pan often so the mixture doesn't burn.
- Remove the pan from the heat, allow the sputtering to subside, then stir in the lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold in the oats and walnuts until combined.
- Spread the mixture out on the prepared sheet pan in an even layer. Using a spatula, press the oats down into a layer that is about 1/2-inch thick. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating halfway through, then remove the sheet pan from the oven and, using a butter knife, break the granola into large, 2- to 2 1/2-inch clusters on the baking sheet.
- Spread the clusters evenly around the pan and bake again until the clusters are a deep golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes, rotating and tossing halfway through so they don't burn.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the granola to cool for at least 30 minutes on the counter to harden slightly. Once the granola has cooled, break it up with your hands into small or medium clusters, depending on preference. Allow to cool completely, at least one more hour.
- Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to a month (or in the freezer, where it'll stay crisp for at least 3 months).

CINNAMON STOVE TOP GRANOLA
This is a super fast and simple to make granola that comes out tender, crisp and delicious every time! It's very versatile, simply add your favorite dried fruits, nuts, toasted coconut, etc. If you prefer your granola harder, just cook it a little longer at the end. Using butter will give it a deeper/heavier flavor, oil gives it a lighter flavor, more like the commercial granolas you find at your grocery store.

CINNAMON WALNUT GRANOLA
Got this from a nutritionist friend of mine. It has flax seed, and walnuts are good for you - the only nut that has omega 3's. Sometimes I'll also add a cup of sunflower seeds. My daughter loves it and a 8 yo friend was over and tried it. His comment: "This is tasty!" I gave the recipe to his mom and she made it for a school function and it was a hit! I use rolled oats, but you could use quick oats too. I use this on top of fruit and yogurt for a healthy breakfast.

LOWER FAT CINNAMON GRANOLA
This recipe will probably not rate as "low fat" because of all the nuts, but they're a healthy source of fat. In an effort to reduce the unhealthy fat, there is a minimal amount of butter in the entire recipe. It makes for a dry granola which is especially good for topping yogurt or as the topping for a fruit "cobbler". Feel free to swap out different fruits and nuts to suit your tastes. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh oats. Fresh oats will give your granola a better flavor and texture than oats that have been sitting in your pantry for months.
- Choose your nuts and seeds wisely. The nuts and seeds you add to your granola will contribute to its overall flavor and texture. Some popular options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different sweeteners. You can use honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or even coconut sugar to sweeten your granola. Each sweetener will give your granola a slightly different flavor.
- Bake your granola at a low temperature. This will help to prevent it from burning and will also give it a more even toast.
- Store your granola in an airtight container. This will help to keep it fresh and prevent it from becoming stale.
Conclusion:
Granola is a delicious and versatile breakfast option that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be eaten with milk, yogurt, fruit, or even just on its own. It's also a great snack option and can be easily taken on the go. If you're looking for a healthy and convenient breakfast or snack, granola is a great choice.
