A Heart Healthy Recipe

Agave nectar has the same nutritional value as honey but offers a few advantages. 

It has a lower glycemic index which means that it does not trigger fat storage like honey does.  It also does not bring with it the stronger flavors of honey, just contributing sweetness.

You may substitute 3 Tablespoons of honey in this recipe.
