    How long would this last in a jar in the pantry?

    That may depend on a few factors like how well the jar is sealed, environmental humidity, etc.

    Mls and grams are NOT the same. It depends on the density and weight of the ingredient. 100ml bricks would weigh significantly more than 100ml feathers!

    Is the 14g per serving? Is for the granola alone ,or with yogurt and berries? What is the serving size?

    This is 14g net carbs per serving including the yogurt and berries. Each serving will have 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/2 oz berries. For the granola, it would be best to either weigh and divide into servings or visually estimate based on the number of servings you set the recipe for.

    Hi there, can you help please? I don't know what I did wrong. I followed the exact ingredients and recipe but it never went hard and crispy in the oven even though I baked it for 2 hours, it still came out loose and soft. I added extra water and coconut oil to try make it more moist so it would bake, but nothing worked.

    This recipe will toast in the oven and remain a loose mixture though some of the ingredients with stick together as noted in the image accompanying the recipe.

    Hi Nicola, the reason it was too soft, was that you added more water and coconut oil. Only use what is in the recipe and
    as it cools it will get crispy. I added Truvia sweetener (couple of tsps) which is stevia and erythritol and that causes it to clump up and get crispy. I also use ghee instead of coconut oil for better flavor.
