Low FODMAP Maple Walnut Granola

Many granola recipes are sweetened with honey. Honey tends to be higher in FODMAPs. Although it can be included on the low FODMAP diet in small amounts.

Instead of honey, I've used lower FODMAP maple syrup in this recipe. It adds a nice flavor to the granola while keeping FODMAPs in check.

I hope you enjoy this easy low FODMAP granola as much as I do! It's made with just 6 ingredients in about 35 minutes.
