Ingredients:

• 6 C rolled oats
• 1 C almonds, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 C shredded coconut
• 1/2 C sunflower seeds
• 1/8 t salt
• 4 ripe bananas, broken into smaller pieces
• 6 T coconut oil, room temperature (or softened slightly if too hard)
• 6 T maple syrup (or honey)
• 1/2 t vanilla

Combine the oats, almonds, coconut, sunflower seeds, and salt in a large bowl. In a food processor, blend the bananas, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until completely smooth.  Add the banana mixture to the oat mixture. Spread the granola evenly on baking sheets. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, stirring once in the middle. This granola will remain moist. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
