I haven't been cooking much of interest to anyone - I am back to counting my calorie intake vs. outgoing (via a Fitbit). I have just started developing some tasty dishes for those wanting to lose some weight.
I love a tasty breakfast, and have searched and searched recipes and come up with my very own Granola, which is 204 calories per half cup serve.
I used Spark Recipes to calculate the calories - it's a great site!
Want to try my Granola? Here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 175C - melt butter and maple together. Partially crush the puffed rice. Mix all ingredients and place on a lined baking tray. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until golden. Stirring every 5 minutes. Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container.
Serving Size: 1/2 cup
