Almond Granola Clusters

Some people eat chips, I eat my granola with a spoon straight from the package.

Granola is definitely one of my weaknesses. I remember when I, as a child, could open up a granola package and sit and eat the granola with a spoon as if it was candy. Because sure, it kind of was like candy too, because the granola I used to eat consisted of so much refined white sugar. It was my pleasure and I loved eating those small sweet crunchy lumps.

I still love granola but I have learned with age to not choose the ones with the refined sugar and preferably instead making my own. Yesterday evening I prepared myself a batch of granola clusters. This doesn’t have any white refined sugar because it is actually made with dates and almonds, and the flavour is simple fantastic!

THIS RECIPE IS

• Gluten free

• Vegan

• Without refined sugar

• Perfect for both weekdays and weekends

• So delicious that you probably want to eat these instead of chips… or candy.
