Sweet "sugar Free Gluten Free" Granola

Submitted by MassMaiden

"Made with Agave Nectar, which has a low glycemic level and is a delicious and safe alternative to table sugar. Unlike the crystalline form of fructose, which is refined primarily from corn, agave syrup is fructose in its natural form. This nectar does not contain processing chemicals. Even better, because fructose is sweeter than table sugar, less is needed in your recipes. It can be most useful for people who are diabetic, have insulin resistance (Syndrome X), or are simply watching their carbohydrate intake."

Did not like it at all. Tasted just like seeds. Next time add splenda or honey.
