this recipe is solid (gift nyt link), been making it for years, the initial outlay if you have absolutely none of these things is around $90 depending on where you shop (i know i know, that's not cheap) but the food cost for the whole recipe is about $16 or about $2 dollar per serving. It's not a hard recipe and you can adapt it pretty easily (i usually double up the coconut chips).

one of the things i accept but don't honestly respect (i know, everyone's just hustling) is just how expensive and middling most farmers market/boutique granola is. folks will package up a cup and a half of granola in a cute kraft paper standup pouch and charge $15, it's pretty bold imo.

this eleven madison park granola recipe is solid and it's a pretty good value imo, it keeps in a restaurant quart container easily and accepts any dried or undried fruit you want, it's a solid base! anyhow, just wanted to share this, it's one of my go-to recipes
