Method

1- Line a small baking tray with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 160°C.

2- Mash the banana with a fork in a large mixing bowl. Add the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, maple syrup, vanilla paste and cinnamon and whisk with the fork to combine.

3- Add the oats, nuts and seeds and mix well. Tip into the prepared tray and press down firmly. Bake for 50-60 mins, without stirring the mixture, or until golden brown.

4- Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the tray. Gently break up the granola into chunks and store in an airtight container in a cool pantry.
