...eating oatmeal will help you feel much more satisfied after a meal than something like sugar cereal.

‘Sugar cereal’ is a spectacularly low bar for satiation. It’s a low bar for ‘food’.

That said, if you like cereal and find sugared cereals impossibly sweet, granola is almost embarrassingly easy. Here’s the one I’ve been making for years. Everything is in grams, making it easy to scale up or down.

• 9½ Cups (880g) rolled Oats
• 2 Cups (300g) unsalted raw pumpkin kernels
• 4Tb (19g) ground Ceylon cinnamon
• 128g coconut or avocado oil
• 133g honey (110g)
• 2 tsp (11g) vanilla extract
• ⅞ tsp (5g) salt
• 2 Cups (300g) raisins or other dried fruit (270g?)

Heat oven to 300 degrees.
Combine oats, kernels, cinnamon in a large bowl, set aside.
Combine oil, honey, vanilla, and salt in a microwave-appropriate bowl.
Warm wet ingredients in microwave 20–30 secs.
Whisk together.
Mix wet ingredients into dry
Spread mixture onto two baking sheets.
Bake in two phases, to keep the dried fruit from getting too dried out, but if the fruit isn’t baked at all, it’ll make your granola soggy after a few days in storage, so…
Bake 18 min, 20 min for extra thick rolled oats
Remove from oven, add fruit, and stir.
Bake an additional 18–20 min.
Remove from oven.
Allow to cool completely (30+ min) Should be crispy
Transfer into an airtight container for storage.
Makes 1155g
