Recipe: Perfect My Granola (Oven-baked Muesli)

My Granola (Oven-baked Muesli). Since I discovered that store bought Granola often contains quite a lot of sugar, I started making this Granola (Oven-baked Muesli) by myself. The ingredients are almost identical with my Muesli Bar ingredients. Basically sweetness comes from ripe bananas and dried fruit.

The ingredients are almost identical with my Muesli Bar ingredients. There are a ton of different ways you can eat muesli. You can top your yogurt or cottage cheese with the muesli mix like granola.

Slow and low is the key to dry-not-burnt granola. First, press the granola into an even layer before you put it in the oven, then stir it only once halfway through cooking.
