Banana bread for breakfast? Yes, please! I added the flavor of banana bread to granola to create a unique and delicious recipe. This granola tastes amazing in a yogurt bowl with freshly sliced bananas, chia seeds, and maple syrup. You could also have the banana bread granola as a cereal for breakfast or a snack during the day. It’s a diverse recipe, made to please for all occasions.
