Ingredients for Sourdough Banana Bread Granola

Wet Ingredients

• 270g (1 cup) mashed banana (about 2–3 medium bananas)

• 160g (1/2 cup) sourdough discard

• 125g (1/2 cup) maple syrup

• 50g (3.5 tbsp) melted coconut oil

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup (48g) monkfruit sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 tbsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp cloves

• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  

Dry Ingredients

• 4 cups (360g) rolled oats

• 2 tbsp (16g) flaxseeds

• 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans

• 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened coconut flakes

• 2/3 cup (60g) banana chips (optional, but adds extra crunch!)
  

Instructions

1. Prep the Oven & Baking Sheet

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line one large or two standard baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine oats, flaxseeds, pecans, coconut flakes, and banana chips (if using). Set aside.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together sourdough discard, mashed banana, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, monkfruit sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until smooth.

4. Combine Wet & Dry

Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated and slightly sticky.

5. Spread & Bake

Spread granola into a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet(s). Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.

6. Cool & Store

Remove from oven and let cool completely—it hardens as it cools! Transfer to an airtight container for up to a week.

This granola is fiber-rich, protein-packed, and loaded with healthy fats to keep you fueled throughout the day. The combination of banana, maple syrup, and monkfruit gives it a naturally sweet and satisfying flavor—without any refined sugar!
