Coconut Pecan Banana Granola

Modified: Apr 14, 2023 · Published: Sep 18, 2017 by Melissa

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The flavor of banana bread with toasty coconut and pecans, this Coconut Pecan Banana Granola is perfect for breakfast with almond milk or afternoon snacking. It's made with minimal ingredients you probably have in the pantry and ready in about 35 minutes. Plus, it's vegan, gluten free, and naturally sweetened. 

Ok so I know I posted a granola recipe not too long ago, BUT granola is kind of like the perfect snack. Don't ya think? I mean it's super simple to make and the flavor possibilities are pretty much endless. You can use whatever you have in the pantry and chances are fairly good the result will be something tasty. Take today's recipe, I used some spotty old bananas laying on the kitchen counter and a few pantry staples, nothing fancy, and ended up with this super yummy Coconut Pecan Banana Granola. 

Coconut Pecan Banana Granola

This granola tastes like banana bread with the added yumminess of toasted coconut and crunchy pecan pieces. Something pretty magical happens when coconut and pecans are toasted, the heat releases oils that enhance the aroma and deepen the flavor, making it hard to stop eating them.

But don't think that adds any extra steps to making this granola, we're going to toast the coconut and pecans right in with the oats.

This granola takes about 35 minutes to make from to start to finish and you only need 9 ingredients you probably already have on hand. Who doesn't have a spotty banana or two hanging around?
