I love this recipe! I’ve been looking for a grain free low sugar granola for the longest time. I didn’t think it was going to be so easy to make granola so I’ve been avoiding making it for the longest time. This recipe is so delicious and super easy, my new go to recipe for granola from now on. Thank you!!!

This method is so easy! Sometimes granola calls for egg whites or getting more dishes dirty. But this is my new go to. I tried it when I did keto and used a maple syrup substitute, so delicious, I would snack on it or top my yogurt with it. Now that I’m eating regular maple syrup, it’s even tastier. Love it!
