Vegan Granola and Bananas Foster Toppings
Ingredients
Granola
- 2 cups rolled oats (do not substitute)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoons coconut oil (refined, no coconut taste)
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons vegan honey
- 1/2 Tablespoon molasses
Bananas foster
- 1 Tablespoon vegan butter
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 sliced banana
Preparation
Granola
Preheat the oven to 250
Whisk together the oats, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl
Whisk the oil, syrup, honey and molasses together in a small bowl. (hint: measure the oil first and the other three will slide more easily off the Tablespoon measure)
Pour the wet over the dry and stir till well combined
Spread on a baking pan and cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour or till a bit crispy and dried out, stirring occasionally. After 45 minutes, if they are getting too brown but are still damp, cover for the last 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Do not be tempted to use a higher oven temp. The molasses will just make them burn. Learned that the hard way?
Bananas foster
In a small pan over medium heat, bring 1 Tablespoon of vegan butter and 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup to a boil.
Add 1 sliced banana and stir for 1-2 minutes till the banana caramelizes a bit.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
