Bangin' Banana Protein Granola Recipe

BY: COMPLEMENT

Riddle time:

What comes as a bar, mixes into cereal, tastes great on dessert, and is perfect on its own?

You guessed it, granola.

And today we have a simple, elevated granola recipe that takes just 5 minutes to prep but packs lots of flavor and protein.

Unlike most store-bought granolas that are loaded with sugar and oil, this recipe utilizes real food ingredients:

  • Banana to bind everything together.
  • Maple syrup for hint of sweetness (optional).
  • Complement Protein for an extra serving of protein.
