Zubereitung von Banana Nut Granola
- Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup pitted dates in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to soften the dates.
- Transfer the date mixture to a blender. Add 1 mashed ripe banana, 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the blended date mixture, 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans – your choice!), 1/2 cup sunflower seeds (or other seeds), and 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional). Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Spread the granola mixture evenly onto two ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 225°F (110°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring halfway through (around 30-35 minutes) to ensure even baking and browning.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheets before breaking into clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
