Detta Banangranola is an easy 4-ingredient breakfast recipe with a crunchy texture, made with minimal ingredients, no oil, and perfect for using the ripe bananas sitting on your kitchen’s benchtop. It’s naturally packed with 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and half the sugar of store-bought granola.
I love making my own granola instead of buying it, like I did for my Spannmålsfri granola, Nötfri granola, eller Stålskuren Havregryn Granola but today I wanted to make one that uses my bananas. This granola is absolutely delicious with a soft banana taste, a sweet crunch, and the flavors of all the nuts.

Banangranola
Innehållsförteckning
- 2 koppar Gammaldags havregryn - (anteckning 1)
- ¼ kopp Lönnsirap - (anteckning 2)
- 1 Small Banan - equivalent 1/3 cup mashed banana (note 3)
- 1 kopp Mixed Nuts of Choice - (anteckning 4)

Instruktioner
- Värm ugnen till 180 °C.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash banana with a fork until smooth – you need 1/3 cup of mashed banana. If you have too much, freeze leftovers for another recipe, because adding too much banana makes the granola softer and longer to bake.
- Stir in maple syrup, oats, nuts, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if used.
- Stir until all the dry ingredients are wet and coated.
- Spread the ingredients in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the granola on the center rack of the oven for 10 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C). Use a wooden spoon to mix and stir the granola and return for an extra 10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven and cool down on the baking sheet for an hour.
- If you like, stir in 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chops or dried fruits like dried cranberries, raisins, chopped dates, or apricots.

Ingredienser och ersättningar
You only need a handful of ingredients to make this recipe, here’s how to pick them.

- Mosad banan – This is both a natural sweetener and binder, eliminating the need for oil. You can swap it with unsweetened applesauce.
- Havregryn – The base of the granola, providing fiber to keep you full. Use quick oats or gluten-free certified oats as needed.
- Lönnsirap – A natural sweetener with less sugar than store-bought granola. It’s needed because the bananas won’t bring enough sweetness. It can be replaced with agave syrup.
- Blandade nötter – Add crunch, protein, and healthy fats. Use cashews, walnuts, almonds, or swap for seeds like hemp, flax, or chia for a nut-free version.
- Vanilla & Cinnamon – These are optional but enhance the flavor, making it taste like banana bread.

Carines tips
Let me share a few more tips to make the best granola.
- Stir While Roasting – Stir the granola halfway through baking to ensure even crisping and prevent sogginess.
- Golden Brown = Done – The granola is ready when it turns golden brown and fragrant.
- Too Soft? Bake Again! – If it cools too soft, bake for 5-10 more minutes to restore crunch.
- Anpassa den – Stir in chocolate chips, dried fruits, shredded coconut, or pumpkin seeds once cooled.
- lagring – Stays fresh up to 1 month in a sealed container at room temperature.







I love this recipe. Super quick and gives such a lovely subtle banana flavour. So many granolas contain a lot of processed sugar so it’s nice to find something that is naturally sweetened.
