Here is a recipe from that site:

Banana Granola

A friend of mine has just joined me on the low-FODMAP brigade and asked me what he could have for breakfast, as he was ‘definitely gonna get a bit sick of omelettes.’ Indeed, breakfast can be difficult on this diet, and with the news that only one-quarter of a cup of oats is low-FODMAP, things got a teensy bit trickier. I haven’t even found one suitable pre-made muesli option at my local organic shop. And anyway, most store-bought mueslis (particularly crunchy ones like this) are jam-packed with refined sugar. Not the best way to start the day!

I’ve adapted this delicious granola recipe – which is free of refined sugars and bad fats – so it’s suitable for those on the low-FODMAP diet, and just as scrummy and nutritious for those who aren’t. If you want to make it go a bit further, you could mix the granola with organic gluten-free unsweetened cornflakes. Store in an airtight container and serve with your favourite low-FODMAP milk. 

• 3 cups (250g) x buckwheat flakes
• ½ cup (80g) x raw almonds, walnuts, pecans or peanuts (I used peanuts since I love the banana-peanut combo)
• ½ cup x raw pumpkin seeds
• ½ cup x dried coconut
• ¼ tsp x vanilla extract or ground vanilla
• 1 tsp x ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch x ground sea salt
• 3 TBSP x coconut oil, room temperature
• 3 TBSP x pure maple syrup
• 2 x ripe bananas, peeled and broken into pieces

Preheat the oven 400°F / 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

In a large bowl, combine buckwheat flakes, nuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl add coconut oil, maple syrup and bananas. Mash until completely smooth (or use a blender).

Add the banana mixture to the dry mixture and combine well, using your hands, for about a minute, so all is well-coated and clumpy. Turn out and spread the granola in an even layer on the baking tray. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, check at around 10 minutes and turn the granola over with a wooden spoon. Allow to cool completely before putting in an airtight container.
