Preheat oven to 275 Degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with tin foil. Mist with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine syrup, oil, vanilla, peanut butter, and banana. Stir to completely combine. Add protein, mix well and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine banana chips, peanuts, oats, bran, stevia, and salt. Add liquid mixture to dry ingredients. Mix well to fully combine.
Spread oat mixture evenly across prepared baking sheets (mixture should be quite clumpy). Bake for 55-60 minutes, stirring often to break apart clumps and promote even cooking (~every 20 minutes).
Allow granola to cool for ~5 minutes before adding figs***.
Notes
*To make mashing banana easier for yourself, break the banana into bite-size pieces and microwave for 30 seconds before mashing.**For maximum efficiency, chop the figs while the granola bakes.***Tip! Transfer the granola into a large bowl to speed cooling and facilitate mixing. This also frees up the baking sheets to be washed.
