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!

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.

New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice I am late to the game New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice

I am late to the game but needed to try this trending shaved fruit ice idea by @littlefatboyfrankie

It is super refreshing and a fun way to use up seasonal fruit you may have laying around (hello peach season!). 

This is my take on this delicious idea, rainbow sherbet using clementines, kiwi and strawberries. Follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious recipes! 

Ingredients:
* 1 clementine, peeled 
* 1 large strawberry
* 1 kiwi, peeled
* Optional: whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, finely chopped nuts

Method:
1. Freeze the fruit, or fruit of choice overnight or until frozen solid, about 8 hours. 
2. Option to place your serving bowl in the freezer or fridge to chill before serving, as the shaved ice starts to melt quickly. 
3. Using a microplane, grate your frozen fruit into the chilled bowl. 
4. Top with whipped cream, or toppings of choice like the sweetened condensed milk, chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios. 
5. Enjoy immediately!

Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed Sheet pan me Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed

Sheet pan meals are always a go to during busy weeks. This one does not disappoint!
Like and save this post to make later and follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious, healthy recipes!

Ingredients:
Maple Dijon Sauce:
*  ¼ cup dijon mustard
*  2 tbsp maple syrup
*  1 tbsp lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar
*  1 clove garlic, minced
*  1 tbsp olive oil
*  Freshly cracked black pepper
*  Pinch salt
Other:
*  1 large head broccoli, cut into bite size pieces (including most of the stems)
*  1 lb mini round potatoes, sliced in half
*  2 salmon filets (or 1 large piece of salmon)

Method:
1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.  Stir together the ingredients for the maple dijon sauce. Place the chopped potatoes in a mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of the sauce to the bowl, mix well.
3. Place the potatoes on the lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. While that cooks, add the broccoli to the same mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of sauce to the broccoli, mix well and set aside. I like using the stems of the broccoli as well by peeling the tougher outer layer, then roughly dicing the stem. 
4. Use the remaining sauce to marinate the salmon. Place the salmon and sauce in a shallow bowl and allow to marinate until the potatoes are finished baking. Once the potatoes have baked, add the broccoli and salmon to the same sheet and bake for another 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky. Serve while hot. Enjoy!
