Easy Granola

Granola is an american breakfast cereal, very similar to our toasted muesli, although it is often clumpy.  I came across a granola recipe on Go Dairy Free (I can’t find the link to the original recipe) using maple syrup, coconut oil and spices, but I instantly knew with a few substitutes I would have a new breakfast cereal for Oscar.  This recipe is really quick, the hardest part is leaving it in the oven for 3 hours before trying it!

Carob syrup can be purchased, but it is also quite easy to make your own.
