2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup avocado oil
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup California walnuts
1 cup coarsely chopped dried banana chips
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position and line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the honey, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and oil until well combined. Fold in the oats and walnuts until well coated.
Transfer to the prepared baking pan and press the mixture into an even layer. Use a stiff spatula to compress the mixture until very compact. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until lightly golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Break the granola into pieces and stir in the dried banana chips.
