Granola Calculator
Granola oats, nuts, and honey for any serving count.
What it does
Granola ratios bake crunchy clusters. Oats lead with nuts and honey following at set shares.
The tool above scales the batch. Ten servings need 5 cups of oats with 2.5 cups of nuts and 1.25 cups of honey. The metric match is 450 g with 300 g and 296 ml.
Oats run half cups per serving. Nuts halve the oats while honey quarters them for toasting.
Low heat toasts evenly. Three hundred degrees with stirring beats hot spots and burnt edges.
Fruit joins after. Dried berries added cool keep chewy instead of scorched.
How to use
- Pick imperial (cups) or metric (g, ml).
- Enter servings.
- Read oats first.
- Read nuts next.
- Read honey and bake low.

Worked example
Example: 10 servings
Imperial defaults: 10 servings. These are also the default values, so the page opens on this answer.
- Servings: 10 at half cup each.
- Oats: 10 x 0.5 = 5 cups.
- Nuts: 5 x 0.5 = 2.5 cups.
- Honey: 5 x 0.25 = 1.25 cups.
- Tool shows 5 cups oats, 2.5 cups nuts, 1.25 cups honey.

Questions
Oats for 10 servings?
Multiply servings by half a cup. Here 10 x 0.5 = 5 cups oats.
Nuts?
Half the oats volume. Here 5 x 0.5 = 2.5 cups nuts.
Honey?
Quarter of the oats volume. Here 5 x 0.25 = 1.25 cups honey.
Bake temp?
Low and slow at 300 F with stirring for even toasting.
Fruit in the oven?
Yes. Dried fruit joins after baking, never before.
Nut allergies?
No. Nut allergies need seed swaps.
