granola low sugar version

I love to eat fat free yogurt with granola. Regular granola is really fattening and sugary. This is a granola mixture I use to make my yogurt parfaits. It is low in sugar and carbs. 1 gram of sugar and about 14 carbs per 1/3 cup serving. No need to feel guilty about topping your yogurt off with this granola. Add to cooked oatmeal or eat as a cereal. . Enjoy!
