Healthy Homemade Muesli Granola with Agave Toasted Almonds

Tweet this!

Granola sounds healthy. But sometimes, it's not. In fact, some store bought granola products can cost you around 600 calories per cup! Not to mention that small amounts of pre-made granola can be quite costly.

Instead, try making your own. Feel free to sprinkle it on yogurt, frozen yogurt, cereal, pudding, and ice cream!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Dried Muesli (If you can't find Muesli, feel free to buy dried oatmeal, and just add in 1 tablespoon of raisins, if desired).
• 2 tablespoons Sliced Almonds (If you can't find sliced almonds, feel free to substitute whole almonds or any other nut)
• 1 tablespoon Light Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Agave Nectar (I used honey-flavored Agave Nectar)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350.
2. Combine dried Muesli (or oats), Sliced Almonds, and Light Brown Sugar in a bowl. Toss/mix until well mixed.
3. Drizzle Agave Nectar on top. Use clean fingers to massage the Nectar into the mix, until the mixture begins to clump together. It should be a crumbly mixture.
4. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, then spray with Canola Oil (or any oil spray). 
5. Drop the crumbly mixture onto the foil/parchment paper and spread out so that it forms one layer.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the granola begins to harden.
7. Let the granola cool and dry for at least 30 minutes. Then, use with your recipes!
