Granola Honey Nut Banana Bread

Ingredients
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1½ cups canola oil
• ½ cup buttermilk
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon banana extract
• 1½ cups Bunnery Natural Foods Banana Honey-Nut Granola*
• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1 cup ripe banana, mashed

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine the granola with all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix well together the buttermilk, eggs, canola oil brown sugar and extracts. Incorporate into the dry ingredients until well blended. Mix in coconut, pecans and mashed banana last.

Fill a large non-stick or lined loaf pan (or two small ones) to about three-quarters full, sprinkle with extra granola (Banana Honey-Nut Granola is best for this) and bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Remove from baking pan as soon as cool enough to handle. Enjoy for breakfast, an after-school snack or with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. Wrap any unlikely leftovers well for the next day.

*Bunnery Natural Foods Original and Banana Honey-Nut Granola can be used in equal proportion, or use Original Granola plus ½ cup of honey.
