Honey Almond Granola

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Banana Honey Almond Granola is a delicious way to start off your day or to fuel in-between meals. Toasted almonds, honey & bananas, the flavour combination can’t be beat!

Why Homemade?

I am a huge fan of granola. You can eat it for both breakfast and a snack, and it can pack in so much nutrition. When you see a box of granola in the grocery store, you’ll typically see healthy buzz words like “made with whole grains,” or “source of protein”. While many brands do pack in lots of nutritious ingredients like oats and nuts, they also tend to contain lots of added sugars.

I love making my own granola for 2 reason:

1) I can control the amount of added sugar in the recipe.

2) It is SO easy to make!

Ingredients in Banana Honey Almond Granola

  • Large flake rolled oats
  • Hemp hearts for a boost of protein, fibre and healthy fats
  • Chia seeds
  • Chopped almonds to add a crunch and healthy fat
  • Spices and vanilla
  • Olive oil to help it crisp up
  • Salt
  • Honey for a little sweetness
  • Bananas

How to Make

Making granola right at home is SO easy. I choose each ingredient to not only taste delicious, but to also pack in lots of nutrition. This recipe is high in fibre, healthy fats and also provides some plant-based protein.

Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients into a medium bow.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and add in the remaining wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry.

Step 3: Spread out the granola on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway. Tip: If you want more clusters, try not to break up the granola too much when flipping!

Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 22 mins
Course Breakfast, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups large flake rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 medium bananas, mashed (slightly browned bananas)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the dry ingredients including the oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, chopped almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • In a seperate bowl, mash the 2 bananas then add the remaining wet ingredients and mix.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Spread out the granola mixture onto the baking sheet into an even layer. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven and flip the granola mixture over in chunks.
  • If you want more clusters to remain, try not to break up the chunks too much. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Allow the granola to cool right on the hot pan, as it will continue to dry out from the residual heat.
  • Once cooled, store at room temperature in a loosley covered container. Enjoy with greek yogurt or your favourite milk!

Simplify eating with the balanced meal formula 

Eating well does not need to be complicated. As you may have noticed I talk about meal balance a lot, and for good reason!

Aiming for balanced meals is a simple and easy way to make sure you are getting the right amount of all the nutrients like fibre, protein and vitamins:

The simple balanced meal formula:

1/4 whole grain or complex carb
+
1/4 protein 
+ 
1/2 non-starchy vegetable and/or fruit 
+ 
BONUS 1-2 tbsp healthy fats
=
A nutritionally balanced meal

As you can see in the video, it does not need to be perfect every time. This is a great guide that you can customize to meet your needs. Comment below if you have any questions!

Ingredients: 
Tofu Stir Fry & Noodles
* 1 block extra firm tofu
* 1 tbsp sesame oil, divided
* pinch salt, pepper and garlic powder
* 200 g rice noodles of choice, cooked according to package directions
* 1 bunch green onions, white parts thinly sliced *Chop some of the greens for garnish
* 1 large carrot, grated
* 1/4 of a small green cabbage
* 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
Peanut Sauce
* 1/3 cup natural smooth peanut butter
* 3 tbsp soy sauce
* 2 tbsp honey
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* Juice of 2 limes
* 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
* 1/3 cup water
* 1 tbsp cornstarch

Directions:
1. Start by preheating the oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the block of tofu dry with a paper towel and slice the tofu into sticks. 
2. Place the sliced tofu in a medium bowl and add 1/2 tbsp of sesame oil along with the pinch of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix well then spread out evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes while you prep the remaining ingredients.
3. Mix the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a bowl and set aside, cook your noodles according to package directions and set aside. Toss a drizzle of oil into the cooked noodles to prevent from sticking. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the remaining 1/2 tbsp of the sesame oil.
4. Once hot add the green onions to the pan and fry for about 30 seconds before adding the carrot, cabbage and bell pepper. Sauté for 10-15 minutes until the veggies are softened and cooked through. Remove from heat and pour in the peanut sauce and tofu. Mix for about 30 seconds, it will start to thicken slightly from the heat. 
5. Serve over top the rice noodles (or mix the noodles into the stir fry mixture) and garnish with the reserved green onions. Enjoy!
