Homemade Low Sugar Granola
I’m a huge breakfast lover – eggs, bagels, omelettes, muffins – you name it, I love it. Some mornings I have time to cook, some I don’t. The mornings I’m scrambling to keep my life in order, I’m wanting something quick & easy that doesn’t require a lot (if any) cooking. This homemade low sugar granola is a perfect grab-and-go breakfast. I love making this homemade low sugar granola because I can make several different versions using my favorite ingredients. Plus, I know exactly what I’m putting in it – some store bought brands are incredibly high in sugar and/or fat, and low in protein and/or fiber, so make sure you compare food labels when you’re shopping! One of my favorite ways to eat this is sprinkled on top of some Greek yogurt.
Ingredients:
- 1 C quick cooking oats
- 1/4 C peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 C sugar free syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a large cookie sheet and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together oats, salt and cinnamon. Set aside
-
In a microwave safe dish or on the stovetop, melt the peanut butter and sugar free syrup together together until smooth.
-
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
-
Stir in dry ingredients and mix until well combined and spread mixture on prepared cookie sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until granola is lightly browned, stirring the granola once gently half way through.

Remove from oven and let sit until cooled.
-
Once cooled, break apart and eat!
Enjoy! Xoxo
