No need to turn on your oven to make this Peanut Butter Banana Bread Granola! This healthier granola is made in a skillet on the stovetop and is filled with all the warm, comforting flavors of banana bread!
Do you ever stumble on to recipes as a result of trying to modify a different recipe to suit your current situation? What’s in the pantry, temperature in the house, flavors that you like, etc.?
Sometimes those experiments don’t turn out too great for me, but other times, they taste so good that I have to make them again so I can take the time to write down exactly what I did!
One of the most popular recipes on the blog is for this peanut butter banana bread baked oatmeal. It’s been one of our favorites and one of yours for a couple of years now! But sometimes I find myself wanting that oatmeal without wanting to turn my oven on to make it.
So, I decided to come up with a solution for enjoying the peanut butter banana bread oat flavor in the summer when most of us have no desire to bake!
Enter peanut butter banana bread granola made in a skillet! I’ve made granola before in skillet, like this cherry vanilla nut skillet granola, but I find myself usually turning to the oven to make my granola. I don’t know why.
Aside from having to stir it more often, granola made in a skillet is just as easy!
This one is no different. And you only dirty fewer dishes. Always a plus in my book! You toast the nuts, mix the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients all in the same pan. Easy.
Peanut butter, pecans, mashed banana, banana chips, cinnamon, and nutmeg combine with oats, oat bran, and flaxseed to not only give you that banana bread flavor but also to give you a hearty, healthy granola that’s great for breakfast or by snacking on by the handful!
No need to turn on your oven to make this Peanut Butter Banana Bread Granola! This healthier granola is made in a skillet on the stovetop and is filled with all the warm, comforting flavors of banana bread! The reason for such a large difference in baking time (25-45 minutes) is that there will be a variance based on the size of the skillet you use. The smaller the skillet, the longer it will take for the granola to cook and brown. There is also a difference in stove tops gas/electric/etc., so start checking your granola at 20 minutes to make sure it's not done early. If it seems like it's cooking too quickly without drying out, lower your heat to medium-low. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.
