DIY Breakfast Cereal

This stuff is so simple, its crazy. Full of fiber, protein and is a great way to start off your day with either milk or yogurt! For me, the recipe pretty much changes every time I make it, becuase I will use whatever nuts I have on hand. You can also mix in dried fruit if your Burley doesn't gag at the thought of it. I know that some people will use molsasses and/or honey to sweeten their cereal, and add sugar. In order to keep it lower in sugar (and use better sugars) I do way less molasses, and way more agave.

Then... it's so simple!

1. Spread the oats out in a pan
2. Crush up all the nuts you want to use and spread them over the oats
3. pour about 2 tbsp molasses, 3 tbsp agave over the top
4. Add some spices you like.. I usually use cinnamon and ground cloves... not too much though!
5. Add a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of butter to the top
6. Put it in a preheated oven (425 degrees) for about 20 minutes or until you smell it!
7. Take it out and let it sit (it always gets a little crispier while it sits, so be careful you dont burn it and THEN realize its REALLY burned (I have never done that).
8. Put it in a jar... and eat!
