Healthy protein nutty granola

40 min.

Have you ever actually looked at the table of a muesli or granola that is usually displayed in the "healthy" section of the supermarket? If you did, you would know they are not as healthy as we think. Most of them contain a lot of refined sugars, fats and additives.

Let's make a homemade granola instead. It doesn't take long, and you are in full control of the ingredients. You can add extra protein, as we did.
