Ingredients

2 1/2 cups gluten-free old fashioned oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts ~ or nuts of your choice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt ~ omit if using salted nuts
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1 Tbsp hemp seed
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 large banana mashed ~ just barely ripe for Low FODMAP
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup dried cranberries or raisins ~ optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
In a large mixing bowl add the first 8 ingredients. Mix well.
In a small bowl add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, mashed banana, and vanilla. Mix well. Or use my Vitamix suggestion (perfect for less ripe bananas) and puree everything together. See Notes**
Pour liquid mixture over dry mixture and stir well. All ingredients should be nicely mixed and coated.
Spread onto parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Stirring granola 2-3 times during baking time to brown evenly.
Remove granola from the oven and let it sit at room temperature to cool completely. Store in a tightly sealed container.

Notes

**Add the banana, coconut oil, (no melting needed), vanilla, and pure maple syrup all at once in the Vitamix and whip it up all together at once. Then pour the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

**Nutritional values are counted without dried cranberries or raisins.
