Coconut Granola (Autoimmune Protocol Friendly)

• 24 oz (1 bag) of shredded coconut
• 8 scoops collagen peptides
• 2 tbl cinnamon
• 1 medium ripe banana (or smaller for less sweetness)
• 1/2 cup green banana flour
• 1 cup hot water

While this isn’t your traditional granola, I do enjoy this version of it, and even my most picky lil’ one likes it, so that says A LOT! I add collagen to give it a nice protein boost and the green banana flour for some resistant starch. And the added bonus the recipe is Autoimmune Protocol friendly.

Using a big mixing bowl dump all the ingredients together, adding the cup of hot water last.

Preheat the oven to 300.

Mix and mash it until the banana is spread throughout the mixture and the collagen is clump free. 

Line with a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Spread the mixture on the parchment paper until it’s flat and covers the pan.

Bake for 30-40 minutes until it’s browned. 

And that’s it. 

I like to store it in the refrigerator and just put it in the oven in the mornings I’d like to enjoy it by reheating it at 250 for 15 minutes.

With love from my kitchen to yours,
