This Almond & Vanilla Spelt Granola contains only 3 Tbsp of agave syrup so it is not overwhelmingly sweet. Ideal for breakfast or snack with milk.

I love making my own granola. I use less fat, less sugar and less salt than storebought brands so I end up with a much healthier breakfast.   yoghurt or fresh fruits.

Also baking it in the oven leaves the whole house smelling lovely.

Spelt makes a nice change from oatmeal in this Almond & Vanilla Granola. It is one of the most ancient crops, packed with nutrients (plus fibre and protein).

This recipe is interchangeable so you can roll oats instead of spelt and honey or maple syrup instead of agave syrup.
