Can I Skip The Sugar? Absolutely, you can skip all the maple syrup to make this breakfast without added sugar. You can sweeten the layers with stevia drops or mashed banana for a sweet natural flavor.

Just like fresh fruit, dried fruit is a healthy option for sweetening up your cereal. Dried fruit has always reminded me a little bit of candy, but without the guilt. Just make sure your dried fruit is without refined sugars to keep it on the healthy side. Look for products sweetened with fruit juice, if possible.
