Make it to suit your preferences and dietary requirements - choose only the ingredients that you like, and that fit with any allergies or intolerances that you might have. 2. It's cheaper - Granola runs anywhere from $1.50-2.10/100g at my regular grocery store. Even if you have to buy everything to make granola (you probably have at least some of the ingredients in your pantry), it will cost about $1.25/100g. 3. It's fresher and tastes better - I was surprised at how delicious this granola was. It's crunchy, tastes nice and toasty, with just the right amount of sweetness. 4. You can make only how much you need - This recipe as written makes about 1kg of granola which is more than most store-bought boxes. However, if you need less, simply half the recipe.
