CRUNCHY GOLDEN TROPICAL GRANOLA



Crunchy Golden Tropical Granola image

I love tropical fruits for many reasons-they are sweet and juicy, have a luscious texture and fragrance, can be used in both savory and sweet dishes and they store well in the freezer. When tropical fruits are not in season, I buy them dried to make a granola that I can enjoy any time of the year. Coating the granola with finely ground banana chips is one way I ensure every bite has that punch of tropical flavor!

Time 1h55m

Yield 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dried banana chips (6 ounces), broken by hand or chopped into small pieces
2 cups instant rolled oats (6.5 ounces)
2 ounces dried pineapple, roughly chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (1/2 cup)
2 ounces dried mango slices, roughly chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (1/2 cup)
2.5 ounces roasted unsalted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut chips (1 ounce)
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Milk, yogurt, parfaits, smoothie bowls, ice cream or fruit salad

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put half of the broken banana chips in a food processor. Process until finely ground to the consistency of breadcrumbs. Alternatively, crush the chips in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  • Combine the remaining broken banana chips with the oats, dried pineapple and mango, macadamia nuts, coconut chips and sesame seeds in a large heatproof bowl. Set aside.
  • Stir to combine the coconut oil with the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until just warm, about 2 minutes. Pour into the large bowl and stir to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Sprinkle with the ground banana chips and stir again to evenly coat the granola.
  • Spread the granola on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake until evenly golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring 3 times (about every 10 minutes), to ensure it toasts evenly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing.
  • Enjoy the granola as is, in milk or as a topping for yogurt, parfaits, smoothie bowls, ice cream or fruit salad.
