Granola is a delicious breakfast or a healthy snack. But where can you find granola that’s fresh and doesn’t send your blood sugar through the roof? This granola is tastier than anything you can buy in a store. If you use the suggested zero-carb natural sweeteners, it will go easy on your blood sugar. Gluten-free rolled oats is available in most healthy groceries, or buy online from Bob’s Red Mill. Store granola in a sealed container at room temperature for 3 weeks, or several months in the refrigerator. Makes about 10 cups yummy, healthy cereal.
