I got into doing this as therapy a few years ago. I got fat and poor very quickly. Dangerous game.

banana chips
I was in until I got to this part.
Then I gagged.

I make my own granola regularly too - I started when I could no longer get hold of my favourite breakfast cereal.
It's a little more calorie dense than yours though
(I use cups, as it was originally a US recipe, and I never bother to convert)
3 cups rolled oats
4 cups brown rice puffs
1 cup oat / wheat bran (I added this, so I can pretend it's good for me)
1 cups dessicated coconut
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup maple syrup
150g dark chocolate
6 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp saltIt works out at about 500 calories a serving...

I made my own granola this weekend, I know it’s not really cooking but I’d been meaning to do it for ages and the results are excellent. The issue is it tastes so good that I’ve eaten it all, already!
I went for Oats, chia seeds, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pecan, almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts and mixed spice then combined with salt, coconut oil and honey. Whisked an egg white and mixed in. Baked for 45mins turning every 15. Once it was cooled I added dried cranberries, blueberries and banana chips.
