Pan toasted granola with caramelized bananas




My oven doesn't work super well and I don't have a pan that fits in it anyways, so I decided to try pan-toasting some oats to make granola..it worked surprisingly well, though not as crunchy as you would get in an oven, still lovely crisp and chewy. Obviously with granola you can put in whatever you have, and these are the ingredients that we had.

Granola:
-1 cup quick oats
-2 table spoons butter
-2 tablespoon honey
-2 tablespoons coconut
-2 tablespoons ground almonds
-pinch of salt

Caramelized bananas
-tablespoon butter
-2 bananas, sliced lengthwise
-2 pinches tea masala- a spice mixture of cloves, cinnamon, cardamon and pepper

To cook granola: melt butter in the saucepan, then add the rest of ingredients and mix together, stirring occasionally on a low heat for about 20 minutes.
To cook bananas: melt butter, add bananas and sprinkle with spices. Turn and cook on the other side when they start smelling delish and look cooked on the bottom.

Serve with vanilla yougurt. YUM.
