Homemade #Gruesli! I made up the word myself (I think ;). It’s a mix between #granola and #muesli ;). Doesn’t sound so lazy, right? Wrong! This recipe is super easy. Cooking time: ~25-30min. 1)Mix the following in a large bowl: -2 tbsp of olive oil (or coconut) -2 tbsp agave syrup (or maple) -1 tsp vanilla extract -1 tbsp chia seeds (or flax, or hemp) -a pinch of salt -a pinch of cinnamon (or nutmeg) 2)Add 1 cup of rolled oats, slowly coating it with the mix 3)Add ¼ cup of nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds are my favorite) 4)Spread on a pan and bake at 300F for 8 mins. Stir and bake for another 8 mins or until golden brown. 5)Last but not least, add ¼ cup of dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cranberries, ginger, etc) Serving size: ¼ cup Servings: ~6-7 #granola #homemade #lowsugar #highfiber #muesli #gruesli #bushwick #bushwicknutrition

Homemade Granola. A classic! 

Granola can be served on top of yogurt, as a topping for whole wheat pancakes, or as added crunch to peanut butter spread on toast! 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 TBS olive oil
• 2 ½ TBS Agave nectar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract 
• 2 TBS flax seeds
• ¼ cup of walnuts or almonds or hazelnuts 
• ¼ cup of golden raisins or cranberries or cut-up dried apricots 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 300F. 

2. Mix oil, Agave, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. 

3. Slowly add flaxseeds and oats to the bowl. Mix well, until oats are fully coated. 

4. Spread out granola onto a parchment paper or baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. 

5. Stir well, add nuts, and bake for another 10 minutes or until oats are golden.

6. Add raisins and allow to cool. 

FYI. Oats will get crispy as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem soft when they’re hot.
