This Banana Bread Granola is crunchy, hearty, and tastes just like banana bread! It’s the perfect breakfast or snack to keep you full and satisfied!
Bananas are one of my favorite fruits to bake with. I love the sweet taste and flavor that it gives to this baked oatmeal and peanut butter banana bread. And because we always have some overripe bananas sitting on our kitchen counter, I’m constantly thinking of new recipes to make.
The hubster eats a banana just about every day, but once they start turning brown, he won’t touch them. So that’s when I hoard those overripe ones for baking. After all, the dark the better, right? And lately, the hubster has been ignoring a lot of overripe bananas, so I’ve been overflowing with ones to use for baking.
