Simple healthy muesli

For those unfamiliar with this dish, granola is a snack or breakfast meal that includes oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, shredded coconut, almonds, and other desired ingredients. There are millions of varieties out there, but I'm totally obsessed with homemade granola, especially this healthier version!

I got the recipe from a family friend - thanks Glinda Straddeck! I eat it most mornings for breakfast, which consists of light Greek yogurt with a spoonful of cottage cheese, a few berries or bananas, and a handful of granola. I never get sick from it and love how full it is!

What I LOVE about homemade granola:

• Less sugar and fewer calories.Most store-bought cereal brands have around 200 calories per serving and are loaded with sugar. This homemade granola recipe is only 100 calories per serving!
• Friendly Freezer.I like to make a large batch and store it in my freezer.
• Fast and easy.You can prepare and cook homemade granola in 30 minutes!

Granola Adjustments:

• Substitute flaxseed.Replace flaxseed with brown sesame
• Make it gluten free.This recipe is gluten-free as long as you make sure your oats are gluten-free. Gluten occurs naturally in wheat, rye and barley, but not all manufacturers guarantee their products are gluten-free. Check the packaging to be sure! To make gluten-free granola, make sure your oats are gluten-free.

Is muesli healthy?

The key to understanding whether or not granola is healthy is the sugar content! Many granolas are packaged with added sweeteners. When serving granola over sugary yogurt or with a fruit bowl, crank up the sugar levels. The serving size of muesli is small as it can contain a lot of calories. This recipe contains about 5 grams of sugar per serving (¼ cup). Also, consider whether the recipe includes whole grains (fiber) and protein. This recipe provides one gram of fiber and two grams of protein in each ¼ cup serving.
