Directions

1. Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash with the back of a fork until the mixture resembles purée with a few larger clumps.
2. Whisk in the coconut oil and walnut butter, followed by the pure maple syrup. Add the cinnamon, salt, and rolled oats and mix (with a spatula or wooden spoon) to combine. Set the mixture aside to allow the oats to soak up a bit of the moisture; about 10 minutes.
3. Prepare your baking pan by lining the compact broil pan (sans rack) with parchment paper. Once the granola mixture is ready, pour it onto the prepared pan and spread evenly across the pan.
4. Place the granola on the bottom rack of the KitchenAid® Compact Oven with the temperature set to 325˚ F. Then set the timer to 55-60 minutes. Once the timer reaches 30 minutes, give the granola a gentle toss. And then when it reaches 10 minutes, add the walnuts and cacao nibs, if using.
