Admittedly Fussy Grain Free, Sugar Free Granola

1. 1

   Soak lentils in water for at least 12 hours preferably 24 hours.

2. 2

   Drain lentils and pat dry. You want the lentils as dry as possible. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Puree bananas (no lumps) and add in cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom.

4. 4

   Place the nuts and coconut in a bowl. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of banana puree onto the nuts and coconut. Stir until the nuts and coconuts are covered with banana puree.

5. 5

   Place the drained and dried lentils in another bowl and pour the rest of the banana puree. Mix thoroughly.

6. 6

   Pour the lentils onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 35 minutes, stirring frequently, being careful the lentils do not burn.

7. 7

   Take the baking sheet out of the oven and mix in the nuts/coconut mixture. Return to the oven for a quick roast-- about 10 minutes, making sure the nuts do not burn.

8. 8

   Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Mix in dried fruit.

9. 9

   Serve as you would any granola-- over yogurt, with milk, or by the handful. The taste is reminiscent of banana bread.
