  • ½ Cup Raw almond butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  • Remove from heat and pour liquid over nuts in the large mixing bowl. Toss together until well mixed.
  • Using a spatula, spread and press mixture to an even ¼” thickness on a parchment lined baking sheet.
    A large sheet pan is filled with fresh baked chocolate granola.
  • Bake at 275F for 45 minutes. Cool completely before breaking apart into chunks. In a large bowl add granola chunks, along with chocolate chips and pulsed banana pieces.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
