Hi Amy,<\/p>\n

I did the math for that granola! hehe<\/p>\n

old-fashioned oats – 2 cups – (300 cals; 6g fat; 54g carb; 10g pro)
\nwheat germ – 1\/2 cup – (215 cals; 6g fat; 28g carb; 16.5g pro)
\nsugar – 2 tablespoons – (96 cals; 0g fat; 25.2g carb; 0g pro) (using 3 tsp = 1 tbsp)
\nsalt – 1\/4 teaspoon – (just a lil pinch no cal\/fat\/carb\/pro – much sodium tho, don’t overdo)
\nhoney – 1\/3 cup – (344 cals; 0g fat; 93g carb; .34g pro)<\/p>\n

here’s where it can vary a lot:
\nother – 1 cup –
\nsliced almonds – (529 cals; 45g fat; 20g carb; 20g pro)
\ncinnamon (maybe a 1 teaspoon) (6 cals; 0g fat; 1g carb; 0g pro)<\/p>\n

I got geeky with this :)<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon = .0625 cups
\n1 teaspoon = .0208 cups<\/p>\n

so:
\n2 cups + .5 cups + .125 cups + .333 cups + 1 cup + .0208 cups = 3.9788 cups (approx 4 cups)<\/p>\n

divide this by 1\/3 cup for serving size = 11.95 servings (12 servings) perfect size for lil yogurt cups
\ndivide this by 1\/2 cup for serving size = 5.975 servings (6 servings)<\/p>\n

here comes the nutritional math :)
\nfor 1\/3 cup servings
\ncals = 300+215+96+344+529+6 = 1490 total — 124 cals\/serving
\nfat = 6+6+45 = 57g total — 4.75g fat\/serving
\ncarbs = 54+28+25.2+93+20+1 = 221.2g total — 18.4g carb\/serving
\nprotein = 10+16.5+.34+20 = 46.84g total — 3.9g pro\/serving<\/p>\n

for 1\/2 cup servings
\ncals = 300+215+96+344+529+6 = 1490 total — 248 cals\/serving
\nfat = 6+6+45 = 57g total — 9.5g fat\/serving
\ncarbs = 54+28+25.2+93+20+1 = 221.2g total — 36.9g carb\/serving
\nprotein = 10+16.5+.34+20 = 46.84g total — 7.8g pro\/serving<\/p>\n

Do you know of a way to make the loose granola into granola bars without adding a lot of fat and calories?<\/p>\n

Thanks,
\nDreux

If you have anything you want to add or comment on these numbers, please do! Keep the emails and comments coming!<\/p>\n

The answer to making the granola into bars is to add more honey and then form them as they cool.<\/p>\n
