If you're celiac or have a gluten-sensitivity that leaves you with digestive upset and bloat, you can still satisfy your cravings for a bowl of granola. Some of these brands are completely grain-free, making them lower in carbs than traditional granola, and some are made with gluten-free grains like quinoa and millet. Enjoy yours with a spoon — or actually, just go for the handful!
