Orange Almond GranolaIngredients (use vegan versions): 2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch or two of salt
2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Directions:I've been known to add Goji berries and raw chocolate, but mostly I keep the recipe as is.
Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix orange juice concentrate, agave nectar and almond extract. Stir into oat mixture.
At first it may seem like there's not enough of the wet mixture to hold the granola together, but there is. Just keep stirring. Once mixed, put the granola in an airtight container and store in the fridge.
I don't bake my granola. I don't have the patience, and I like this one as is. Since its not baked, it stays soft and you can still use the oats to make oatmeal. I eat it with Yogurt (soy) and Acai bowls. Or just with a spoon.
This is a good breakfast granola as it has a little bit of everything (fiber, protein, carbs). Enjoy, lovelies :-).
Preparation time: 5 minutes
could anyone tell me what agave nectar is ans where can I find it?

As far as I know, agave nectar is just agave juice, but called nectar because its so thick. You can probably find it in the fridge section of big supermarkets, or in a healthfood or hispanic-foods shop.

Agave Nectar is the nectar from a cactus. You can find with the honey and maple syrup at any health food store. Even conventional grocery stores around here are starting to carry it :-). Hope you find it! If you can't I'd suggest using maple syrup.
