The Easiest, Healthiest, Tastiest Granola/Muesli EVER! (HCLF)

I used to think that granola was what American's called muesli. Apparently I was wrong. I still don't really understand the difference though so I'm calling it both. Regardless of what it's called, it's delicious, nutritious AND it doesn't have any oil. Hooray!This muesli tastes AMAZING and it is SO good for you. I love putting it on top of smoothie/acai bowls or just having it by itself with some banana mylk. Not to mention it leaves your house smelling incredible.


What you'll need:

• 2 cups of rolled oats
• 1 tbsp of maple syrup
• 4 pitted and chopped up fresh medjool dates 
• As much cinnamon as you desire
• OPTIONAL EXTRAS: desiccated coconut, dried fruit, nuts, ect - if you add a lot of these just add some more maple syrup.

What you'll need to do:

1. Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius. 
2. Dump all of the ingredients in a food processor (or high speed blender - I'm using a Vitamix) and pulse at 5-10 second intervals for about a minute. You do NOT want the ingredients to blend completely, but rather just incorporate into one and other.
3. Place everything on a lined baking tray and disperse the ingredients evenly to ensure it all bakes properly.
4. Put in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy. 
5. Take out of the oven and leave to cool for about 30 minutes.
6. That's. Literally. It. Enjoy your muesli and let me know if you try it out!

Muesli should store in an air-tight container for about 1-2 weeks.
