Who doesn't like granola with almond milk or yogurt in the morning? It's a perfect speedy breakfast. The only problem with store-brought granola is that it's usually high in refined sugars and oil. That's why it's best to bake your own at home. You'll have total control over ingredients.
This granola is refined-sugar-free as it's sweetened with mashed banana only. I didn't use any oil in this recipe, either. Instead, I added my favourite secret ingredient: tahini. Tahini and chocolate make the best combination.
So I hope you'll enjoy this healthier version of granola. It's very addictive, and I often end up just eating it dry straight from the jar.
