Top 8 granolas tested

This week we are looking closely at granola, the toasted version of muesli.

Oil or butter are usually used to add to the toastiness of the mixture, which often includes rolled oats as the base. After that, it can be any mix of seeds, nuts and fruits.

If you want to keep sugars to a minimum, choose the fruit-free versions, but watch ingredients lists for added sugar which may come in the form of agave syrup, black treacle, honey, inverted sugar syrup or regular sugar.
