Crunchy Maple Granola

Think of this granola as a topping rather than a cereal.  Instead of getting your kids all hopped-up on a full bowl  (it’s loaded with delicious maple syrup), sprinkle it over yogurt with fresh blueberries or raspberries on top. You’ll still get the wonderful taste of the granola and the health benefits of the oats without too much sugar.
