Low Sugar Granola

Turns out, you don’t need a ton of sugar to make seriously good granola. Our low sugar granola keeps things light on sweetness and big on flavor—just the way we like it.

At Back Roads, all of our recipes are naturally low in sugar, with 5 grams or less per serving. We skip refined sugars entirely and lightly sweeten each batch with pure Vermont maple syrup—just enough to bring out the flavor without overpowering it. The rest of the sweetness? That comes straight from real ingredients like fruits, nuts, and seeds.

No fillers. No shortcuts. Just simple, real food that tastes as good as it feels.

What Makes Granola Low in Sugar?

Not all healthy low sugar granola is created the same. Some brands reduce sugar but replace it with artificial sweeteners or highly processed alternatives.

At Back Roads, we take a simpler approach. Our granola recipes are designed to be low in added sugar, using just a touch of maple syrup to enhance—not mask—the natural flavors of our ingredients. With 5 grams of sugar or less per serving, you get a granola that feels balanced, satisfying, and genuinely good to eat every day.

And for those looking to go even further, we also offer options with no added sugar at all.
