You can also try making it with 1/2 the above oil and maple syrup. I've tried it and it still tastes good, but does not bind together as well. Macros as such would be: 165 calories per half cup, 19.5g carbs, 8.5g fat, 4.5g protein, and 4.5g fiber (net carbs of 15g per half cup which would be amazing for granola!)
