Ingredients | Banana Healthy Food

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup slivered almonds

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

3 tablespoons chia seeds

2 tablespoons flax seeds

2 tablespoons hemp seed hearts

¼ cup honey

2 tablespoons orange juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Mix oats, almonds, coconut, chia seeds, flax seeds, and hemp hearts together in a bowl. Mix honey, orange juice, and vanilla extract together in a separate large bowl. Add oat mixture to honey mixture; stir well until evenly coated. Spread granola onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 50 minutes.

Mix chocolate chips into granola; cool to room temperature.

This recipe is very versatile. You can add dried fruits or swap out almonds for other nuts. Use dark chocolate for a richer, healthier version of the granola. You can omit the coconut if you prefer, tastes great either way. Get creative!

Substitute bittersweet chips for the dark chocolate chips, if desired.
